Tokugawa Ieharu
Forced to reside in Edo, the Ikoma administered their territory as absentee landlords through local administrator; however, the high taxation and tyranny of the administrators led to repeated peasant uprisings and eventually a direct appeal by the peasants to the government, especially in 1677. In 1780, "shōgun" Tokugawa Ieharu allowed the head of the clan to visit his holdings under the "sankin-kōtai" system.
