Tokugawa Yoshinobu was the fifteenth shōgun and the last. He took the office in 1866, held it for a year, and in 1867 returned governing authority to the Emperor rather than fight a civil war he calculated he would lose. The samurai class was abolished within a decade.

He then lived another forty-six years. He took up photography, cycling, and oil painting, and died in 1913 having outlived the entire world he was born into by half a century.

Armor from the closing years of the shogunate is a different object from the Sengoku sets. By this period it was ceremonial almost entirely — worn for audiences and processions, made to be looked at rather than fought in, and finished accordingly. This set follows that late Edo character: restrained plate, dense lacing, and ornament concentrated at the helmet.

If the Sengoku armors on this site are about a country at war, this one is about the moment it stopped.
