Kazoku
The was the hereditary peerage of the Empire of Japan, which existed between 1869 and 1947.
== Origins ==
Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the ancient court nobility of Kyoto, ''the Kuge,'' regained some of its lost status. Several members of the ''kuge'', such as Iwakura Tomomi and Nakayama Tadayasu, played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate,〔Peter Francis Kornicki, ''The emergence of the Meiji state'' (1998), p. 115〕 and the early Meiji government nominated ''kuge'' to head all seven of the newly established administrative departments.
The Meiji oligarchs, as part of their Westernizing reforms, merged the ''kuge'' with the former ''daimyo'' (feudal lords) into an expanded aristocratic class on 25 July 1869, to recognize that the ''kuge'' and former ''daimyo'' were a social class distinct from the other designated social classes of ''shizoku'' (former samurai) and ''heimin'' (commoners). Itō Hirobumi, one of the principal authors of the Meiji constitution, intended the new ''kazoku'' peerage to serve as a political and social bulwark for the "restored" emperor and the Japanese imperial institution. At the time, the ''kuge'' and former ''daimyo'' consisted of a group of 427 families.
All members of the ''kazoku'' without an official government appointment in the provinces were initially obliged to reside in Tokyo. By the end of 1869, a pension system was adopted, which gradually displaced the ''kazoku'' from their posts as provincial governors and as government leaders. The stipends promised by the government were eventually replaced by government bonds.
