Other Events of 1635

  • Chinese ships are limited to Nagasaki.
  • Sankin kôtai obligations are made mandatory for all tozama daimyô.
  • Buke shohatto is re-promulgated.
  • Fire destroys much of Kanazawa.
  • The term Nihon-koku taikun (or Great Prince of Japan) is coined and begins to be used to refer to the shogun, thus avoiding the political/diplomatic ramifications of allowing him to be called King of Japan (which would imply that, like the Kings of Korea and Ryukyu, he acknowledged and submitted himself to the higher authority of the Chinese Emperor).
