His reign corresponded to the period from the sixth shōgun Tokugawa Ienobu to the eighth shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune. During this period, relations with the Bakufu were fairly good. Talk of a marriage between Imperial Princess ??-no-miya Yoshiko (八十宮吉子内親王), daughter of Retired Emperor Reigen and the seventh shōgun, Tokugawa Ietsugu were halted by the latter's sudden death.
