Tokugawa Ienari was the 11th [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa shogun]].

A son of [[Tokugawa Harunari]] (aka Harusada]], head of the [[Hitotsubashi Tokugawa clan|Hitotsubashi]] [[Gosankyo|branch family]] of the [[Tokugawa clan]],<ref>Gallery labels, "Flowering Plants of Summer and Autumn," [[Tokyo National Museum]], 23 July 2010.</ref> Ienari was adopted into the main shogunal Tokugawa lineage and became shogun after [[Tokugawa Ieharu|Tokugawa Ieharu's]] death in [[1786]]. Ienari's formal accession ceremonies were held on [[1787]]/4/15.

He married [[Kodai-in (1773-1844)|Shige-hime]] (aka Kôdai-in), a daughter of [[Shimazu Shigehide]], in [[1789]]. She gave birth to their first child, Atsunosuke, in [[1797]], but he died when he was only age 4.<ref>"[http://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%BA%83%E5%A4%A7%E9%99%A2 Kôdai-in]." ''Nihon jinmei daijiten'' 日本人名大辞典. Kodansha, 2009.; ''Kaiyô kokka Satsuma'' 海洋国家薩摩, Kagoshima: Shôkoshûseikan (2010), 58-59.</ref>

Ienari was named ''[[Dajo daijin|Dajô daijin]]'' on [[1827]]/3/18.

Ienari had more than twenty children, many of whom were adopted into other families; [[Hachisuka Narihiro]], Ienari's 22nd child, serves as just one example.<ref>Mark Ravina, ''Land and Lordship in Early Modern Japan'', Stanford University Press (1999), 192.</ref> Ienari's daughter [[Yohime|Yôhime]] married [[Maeda Nariyasu]], lord of [[Kaga han]].<ref>[[Albert M. Craig]], ''The Heritage of Japanese Civilization'', Second Edition, Prentice Hall (2011), 78.; "[http://www.seisonkaku.com/english/tenjisitu/meihin5.html Embroidered Costume on Pale Blue Crepe]," [[Seisonkaku]] official website.</ref> At the time of his abdication on [[1837]]/4/2, however, Ienari had only one living son who had not been adopted away: [[Tokugawa Ieyoshi]], who thus succeeded him as shogun. The next two shoguns after Ieyoshi would be grandsons of Ienari: Ieyoshi's son [[Tokugawa Iesada]], followed by [[Tokugawa Iemochi]], a son of Ienari's son [[Tokugawa Nariyuki]].

Following his death in [[1841]], Ienari was buried at the Tokugawa clan family temple of [[Kan'ei-ji]]. While a number of shogunal mausolea were lost in the bombings of [[Tokyo]] during World War II, his is among those which survive.
