Introduction
The Tenpō era is often described as the beginning of the end of bafuku government. Though the era accomplished much through its reforms, and also culturally speaking, the injury inflicted on the Tokugawa system of government during the Tenpō period was unparalleled. Public order and satisfaction with government with a main issue, but the bafuku was not entirely at fault for the stir amongst the people. For example, the failure of crops in 1833, which soon became a lengthy disaster endured for over four years called the Great Tenpō Famine, was caused mainly due to poor weather conditions. It became simply too cold for crops to flourish or receive needed warmth and water. Prices skyrocketed, as well. These dire circumstances sparked many rebellions and riots across Japan over the course of the Tenpō years. [1]
