To this end, the author of this note will organize a committee of prominent experts.
The City of Edo, or Explaining the Long Peace of the Tokugawa Japan
To understand the decisive role that the city of Edo played in the long peace of the Tokugawa, one must first recall that Japan, prior to the Tokugawa, had the cities at the eastern end of the Setonaikai (Japan’s Mediterranean) as its center, namely Osaka(Naniwa), Nara and Kyoto. This is quite natural as Japan has always had to be conscious about its gigantic neighbor to the west, China. The pre-Tokugawa capitals were far enough from China to maintain independence, while close enough with it for trade between the two countries to continue. While the first samurai government was built in Kamakura, close to latter day Edo, the city itself was small in comparison to the older capitals and had never achieved economic importance to compete with them.

KONISHIKI Appointed Edoverse Ambassador
KONISHIKI, who has inherited Japan’s samurai spirit through sumo and has the influence and network to communicate the appeal of Japan to the rest of the world, will become an ambassador for Edoverse as we aim to further expand Edoverse’s international reach.
Future plans include the establishment of a sumo gym at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Edoverse, with the goal of enabling Edoverse visitors to experience the charms of sumo.
■Profile
Konishiki Yasokichi (小錦八十吉, Konishiki Yasokichi, born Saleva’a Fuauli Atisano’e; December 31, 1963) is an American former sumo wrestler. He was the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach ōzeki, the second-highest possible rank in the sport. During his career he won the top division championship on three occasions and came very close to becoming the first foreign-born grand champion, or yokozuna, prompting a social debate in Japan as to whether a foreigner could have the necessary cultural understanding to be deemed acceptable in sumo’s ultimate rank. At a peak weight of 287 kg (633 lb) he was also at the time the heaviest wrestler ever in sumo, earning him the nicknames “Meat Bomb” and, most famously, “The Dump Truck.”
