Prince Tokugawa Iesato (1863-1940) was the first head of the Tokugawa clan after the overthrow of the Tokugawa bakufu, and a significant figure in Japanese politics and diplomacy during the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa period Japan. Tokugawa Iesato was born to the Tayasu branch of the Tokugawa clan, under the name Kamenosuke, he became its 16th head on June 19, 1868, following the resignation of the last shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu. In 1877, Iesato was sent to Eton College in Great Britain to study. He returned to Japan in 1882, and was given the title of Koshaku under the Kazoku peerage system. He became a member of the House of Peers of the Diet of Japan from its creation in 1890, and served as President of the House of Peers from 1903-1933.
As a descendant of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Iesato inherited and collected a large number of Chinese palace porcelain, calligraphy and painting. Iesato also has a strong interest in Chinese culture. Because of these talents, Tokugawa Iesato served as the consultant of the Royal Museum on November 10, 1938.
