Explanation:

The weakening of “Tokugawa Shogunate” in Japan was caused due to many factors.  Under Tokugawa rule, there was dictatorship  of “bakufu”, with the shogun at the top. He was only to be prayed by poeple.  

There was unemployment and dissatisfaction in people. So, Japanese started an anti-bakufu movement.
