Generals in Edo

Founder's Ieyasu Tokugawa

Ieyasu voluntarily took care of one's health and ..long life.. tried very recognizing that to the long life important.

Especially, because the childhood mortality was high, it was very important to have a lot of children for the house prosperity.

The general who died young recognized it, and 75 years old (a lot of inside and Ieyasu Tokugawa who was) was an absolute requirement for the whole country to roll into consequentially, and the person in question also was strongly recognizing the thing.

75 years old of Ieyasu who built the base of Togugawa Period in turbulent days is remarkable when improving and Yoshinobu part from an official official position after the restoration of the imperial rule the medicine and the hygiene side at the Meiji era, and it thinks the rest of three hobby [**] ..under the watch of Kaishu Katsu..'s life is spent.

I think being able waiting for Hideyoshi's death by becoming a vassal once even if being confront it with Hideyoshi for seeing confidence to health and Hideyoshi's life and tough calculations to have existed

Ieyasu did not survive thin and long

The barrier is in the record when it makes to 59 years old in the battle of the field, it becomes a total general in the east, and it put a manifesto loudly as thunder.

Moreover, 19 children are gained, and it gives birth to the 19th by 60 years old person.

Such vigour might come where.

Ieyasu sees the appearance that is the gnat gnat by the movement of [**gen] Imagawa in the delicious food and lack of physical activity also to the horse with the palanquin it is not possible to get on, and is Kenshin Uesugi in the hostage age.   Because Shingen Takeda was sick, a regrettable sudden death was done, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi who had taken the helm of the ship of state saw the appearance in which it died ruining oneself lead a fast life salaciously and assumed the teaching material by negative example the delicious food and lack of physical activity.

It was favorite, and was ardent to [katanajutsu], the spearmanship, the toxophily, horsemanship, the gun, and the swim to move the body from infancy.

The record of making to 69 years old and having swum in the river remains.

When it ran about hills and fields by the hawking when it was young, and 70 years old was passed, it amused entirely oneself to the hawk hunting.

The delicious food was avoided, and it ate eight taste ground yellow round Hitoshi's energy medicine willingly the plain food in the brown rice that centered on the soybean miso.

It is a famous story in knowledge concerning health that voluntarily avariciously mixed the medical herb.

It is in the record when the cigarette is not voluntarily smoked, and the no smoking order was frequently put out.

Sake seems not to have been drunk willingly voluntarily.

Ieyasu's long life was not by chance but was what voluntarily made.

75-year-old life was shut due to stomach cancer next year of the formation of 　jinfuyu　of the Osaka summer.
