However, Atsu was not able to exercise the influence that had been hoped. Iesada died in the 7th month of [[1858]], naming as his heir the young lord of Kii.  Two months after her husband's death Atsu-hime retired and took the name Tenshô-in, and at the end of the year was given Third Degree rank. She remained living in Edo castle during the shogunate of Iemochi and that of Yoshinobu, who became shogun in 1866.

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.
