*''Titles: Echizen no kami''
*''Other Names'': 松平慶永 ''(Matsudaira Keiei, Matsudaira Yoshinaga)''
*''Japanese'': [[松平]]春嶽 ''(Matsudaira Shungaku)''
Matsudaira Shungaku was the last ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]'' of [[Echizen han]], and played a prominent role in [[Bakumatsu]] politics.
In [[1862]], Shungaku received a document containing "three emergency measures" from [[Kiyokawa Hachiro|Kiyokawa Hachirô]]. He then formed the [[Roshigumi|Rôshigumi]], hiring a group of ''[[ronin]]'' to help guard Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemochi]] on a [[1863]] trip to [[Kyoto]]. In conjunction with these responsibilities, Shungaku was named ''seiji sôsaishoku'', a high-ranking government oversight position.
In the last years of the Bakumatsu period, Shungaku, along with [[Yamauchi Yodo|Yamauchi Yôdô]], were among those who debated the possibility of a more democratic form of government, based on public opinion.
In [[1870]], Shungaku invited [[William Griffis]] to Japan, to teach physical sciences as an ''[[oyatoi gaikokujin]]''.
In [[1881]], he helped compile the ''[[Tokugawa reiten roku]]'', alongside [[Ikeda Mochimasa]] and [[Date Munenari]].<ref>''Tokugawa Reiten Roku'' 徳川禮典録, vol 1., Tokyo: Owari Tokugawa Reimeikai (1942), 1-2. </ref>
Shungaku's son [[Tokugawa Yoshichika]] was adopted into the [[Owari Tokugawa clan]], and succeeded [[Tokugawa Yoshikatsu]] to become the head of that branch house.
