Tokugawa
proper noun
This is one of those words that makes more sense when you look at the reading. The "Virtue River" isn't some virtuous river, it's in fact the Tokugawa family name, made famous by the Tokugawa shogunate. They ran Japan for a while, you know?
The readings are 徳 and the vocab 川 put together into one word. Once you can read this, you'll know the meaning too, so focus on the reading for this one. Just watch out for the rendaku that changes かわ to がわ!
