    Did anyone see this show on the History Channel in the UK last night?
    It dealt with the Tokagawa Shogunate.
    It showed how Ieyasu (1543-1616) brought peace to Japan and was a fairly benevolent leader compared to his Grandson Iemitsu, who was a ruthless leader, slaughtered Christians and cut Japan off from the Western World for 200 years.
    Just wondered if anyone else saw it and found it as fascinating as I did.

    It was on again a little while ago this afternoon. I caught a bit of it, but wasn't really enthralled. It had some good info in it though :)
