Ikeda Mitsumasa was a ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]'' of [[Okayama han]]. He served as an advisor to [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]], and is known as one of the earliest ''daimyô'' to implement the use of a [[petition box]], allowing his subjects to express their concerns or suggestions for better government.<ref>[[Luke Roberts]], ''Mercantilism in a Japanese Domain: The Merchant Origins of Economic Nationalism in 18th-Century Tosa'', Cambridge University Press (1998), 107.</ref>
Mitsumasa bore some relations to the [[Tokugawa clan]], as his mother had been adopted by Shogun [[Tokugawa Hidetada]], and his wife was a niece of Iemitsu.<ref>[[Mark Ravina]], ''Land and Lordship in Early Modern Japan'', Stanford University Press (1999), 41.</ref>
