What is the height of the Japanese Warring States military commanders?

After the war, the average height of men increased from 160 cm to 20 10 years 17 1 cm, and that of women increased from 149 cm to 158 cm.

It is a modern thing for Japan to get rid of its reputation as a "short country". In ancient times, short people with a height of 140 to 150 cm were common among Japanese.

The most striking is Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth generation general of Tokugawa shogunate, with only 124 cm. This can be found in the Bordet Temple (also known as Dashu Temple) of the Tokugawa family in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. This temple enshrines the memorial tablets of generals of past dynasties. The error between the length of all tablets and my height is within 5 cm, while the tablet of Gunji is only 124 cm. Based on this calculation, his height should be within 120~ 130 cm.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is the fourth son of three generations of general Tokugawa Guang Jia (that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandson). His father's height is 157 cm, and his mother's height is 147 cm.
