Surcoat (Jinbaori) ca. 1866 Japanese The Tokugawa family mon (heraldic badge), consisting of a circle enclosing three holly leaves, is applied to the center of the back in thick black velvet. The lining and the lapels are covered with luxurious silk brocade featuring a repeating pattern of square and round cartouches filled with flower blossoms and pairs of dragons and phoenixes. According to a label attached to it, this surcoat belonged to Tokugawa Yoshinobu (1837-1913), the last Shogun (military ruler) of Japan (reigned 1866-68). He may have worn it during his defeat at the battle of Toba Fushimi (January 2, 1868), a watershed event in the transition from feudalism and the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868) to the Meiji era and the beginnings of modern Japan..
