“Edo” refers to the historical name of Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, during the period when it was ruled by the Tokugawa shogunate from 1603 to 1868. The term “Edo” is often associated with the cultural and political era of Japan known as the Edo period, which was marked by relative peace, stability, and isolation from foreign influence. Today, “Edo” can also refer to the cultural heritage and historical structures from that time period, as well as various events, art, and practices that originated during the Edo period.
