This marriage had been arranged by Ietsuna TOKUGAWA, the fourth Seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians") so that some officers, such as Tadakuni HONDA of the Ministry of Central Affairs were sent from the Edo bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) to celebrate the marriage. |
この結婚は4代征夷大将軍徳川家綱の斡旋で行われたもので、江戸幕府は中務省本多忠国らを派遣して賀辞を奏している。 |
