About 226 years in: ~1789
Tokugawa Ieharu dies in 1786, and his adopted son Tokugawa Ienari becomes the 11th Shogun. As Ieharu has no surviving children, Ienari is adopted from the Hitotsubashi branch of the Tokugawa family (He is the great grandson of the 8th Shogun, Tokugwa Yoshimune). Ienari is the longest serving Tokugawa Shogun, staying in office for 50 years. Over his time he has literally hundreds of concubines, and fathered at least 60 children.
The Great Fire of Kyoto occurs in 1788 and burns for 4 days, eventually being extinguished by heavy rain. The Imperial palace was completely destroyed, and the Shoguns councillor Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was put in charge of rebuilding, stated that no other repairs in the city cold commence until the palace was rebuilt. As Chief councillor for the Shogun, Sadanobu also made a number of strict changes to the previous Shoguns relaxation of the Sakoku (closed country policy). In 1792 an envoy from Russia named Adam Laxman landed on Hokkaido. He was there to negotiate trade between the countries and as a gesture of ‘good will’ (*blackmail) he had brought two Japanese sailors that were lost at sea and found by the Russian Navy. Despite his demands he was still treated hospitably, but ultimately was denied any real agreement save for permission to send a single Russian ship to Nagasaki.
Getting later into the Edo period Ukiyo-e art progressed in techniques, with woodblock prints being able to make complex colour combinations in a single print (instead of adding colours later). The style of paintings also changed to what most would recognise nowadays as Edo period Ukiyo style art, and paintings of Kabuki actors became popular at this time, some of which are still well known today.
