| | Shogun - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia |
 | | The so-called transitional shoguns, of 1568–1598, did not receive the title of sei-i taishogun from the emperor and did not establish shogunates, but did, for a period, hold power over the emperor and most of Japan. |
 | | The title sei-i taishogun was abolished during the Meiji Restoration in 1868, in which effective power was "restored" to the emperor and his appointees. |
 | | The term bakufu originally meant the dwelling and household of a shogun, but in time it came to be generally used for the system of government of a feudal military dictatorship, exercised by the shogun, and this is the meaning that has been adopted into English through the term "shogunate." |
