Tenpō reforms

The nihongo|Tenpō reforms|天保の改革|tenpō no kaikaku were a series of government reforms introduced in 1844 during the Tenpō era of the Edo period. They brought reform to military and economic systems, but were also responsible for cleansing "domestic uneasiness", leading to the arrest of many prominent political figures and writers.

The Tenpō Reform was mainly led by Mizuno Tadakuni. Economically, recoinage was issued. Also commodity prices were lifted. Socially, immigration to Edo was prohibited. The formation of societies was also banned. Meanwhile, Rangaku (Dutch Learning) was banned.
