How did japans economy grow during the shogun period?

During the shogun period, particularly under the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), Japan's economy grew due to increased agricultural productivity, the development of internal trade networks, and the rise of a merchant class. Agricultural innovations, such as improved rice cultivation techniques, led to surplus production, which supported population growth and urbanization. Additionally, the establishment of roads and the promotion of market towns facilitated commerce, while the peace and stability provided by the shogunate allowed for economic activities to flourish without the disruptions of warfare.
