| During this time, the Satsuma clan joined forces with the [[Choshu han|Chôshû clan]] in support of the imperial restoration against the shogunate, and events eventually errupted into the [[Boshin War]] ([[1868]]), ending with the overthrow of the shogunate. At the end of the war, Tenshô-in (Atsu), who was from Satsuma, and Seikan-In no Miya (静寛院宮) (formerly [[Kazu no Miya]] 和宮), the widow of Shogun Iemochi and the daughter of [[Emperor Ninko| Emperor Ninkô]], successfully interceded with the victors for the continuance of the Tokugawa family. After the fall of Edo Casle, Tenshô-in and the rest of the Tokugawa family were deprived of their rank. She moved to the Hitotsubashi mansion and concentrated on raising Yoshinobu's heir Yasuda Kamenosuke (田安亀之助) ([[Tokugawa Iesato]] 徳川家達). She died in [[1883]]. Upon her death her rank was restored. | | During this time, the Satsuma clan joined forces with the [[Choshu han|Chôshû clan]] in support of the imperial restoration against the shogunate, and events eventually errupted into the [[Boshin War]] ([[1868]]), ending with the overthrow of the shogunate.
