*''Established: [[1889]]''
*''Japanese'': 江戸会 ''(Edo kai)''
The Edokai ("Edo Association") was a group formed in [[1889]] by a number of former [[Tokugawa shogunate]] officials, who sought to restore the reputation of the shogunate, and of the [[Edo period]], amidst a new [[Meiji period]] conventional wisdom, that the Edo period was akin to a "Dark Ages."
The group asserted that "the three hundred years of Tokugawa rule saw the greatest progress and development that Japanese civilization had ever known,"<ref>Gluck, 267.</ref> asserting too that the shoguns had always been firmly loyal to the [[Emperor]], as the political atmosphere of their time (in the mid-Meiji period) required them to.
