Abstract This chapter focuses on the impact that the massive reform projects of the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune had on the various fields of knowledge, including honzōgaku. These included a relaxation on the state control over imported books, which favored the introduction of various Western book on natural history, the financing of honzōgaku schools, herbal expeditions, and surveys of natural riches. In the long run, the state involvement in natural studies would impart to this disciple a utilitarian aspect that would fully develop only a century later.
