By that year, with the promulgation of the [[Meiji Constitution]], and with sufficient chronological distance from the [[Meiji Restoration]], there began to be a sense of nostalgia for the [[Edo period]], and a rehabilitation of the period's reputation as an age of peace and prosperity (rather than one of oppression and backwardness). Thus, aiming to show the Edo period as one of prosperity, the ''Tokugawa seiseiroku'' discusses and depicts numerous rituals and ceremonies of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], as well as other aspects of the Tokugawa order, and of scenes in and around [[Edo]] otherwise. Prominent [[Meiji government|Meiji]] political figure [[Katsu Kaishu|Katsu Kaishû]] provided the calligraphy for the title page. The ''[[Tokugawa reiten roku]]'', a compilation of records of shogunate rituals, was assembled in the same year.
