   Why did academic attention move away from the Tokugawa bakufu?

   • To some extent, the readiness with which academic attention had moved away from the Tokugawa bakufu, the central government, and toward the han, which together constituted so much of Tokugawa Japan's local government, may well have reflected a postwar aversion to the old themes of prewar Japan: central power and loyalty to the emperor.
