*Publishing: Under the repressive regime of Matsudaira Sadanobu (c. 1787-97), much intellectual production came to be circulated in manuscript form. Anything discussing, let alone criticizing, the shogunate's policies would never pass the publishing guild censors, and could earn the author some serious punishments. So, instead of submitting things for publication, writers would submit them directly to prominent or well-connected samurai officials, in the hopes of influencing policy in that way.
