A Tokugawa Museum located in Nagoya, Japan is a beautiful site that gives information about the Tokugawa way of life.  Permanent exhibits include the following:  "The Practice of Tea:  Daimyo Tea Room,"  "Formal Chamber of the Daimyo's Residence,"  "Daimyo Patronage of Noh Theatre," "Objects and furnishings of Elegant Living," and "The Flowering of the Courtly Tradition."  For information on the museum, make certain that you read the "Outline Page"--it gives a good history of the museum.
