Journey back to one of the most transformative periods in Japanese history with The Money of the Samurai from Japan's Last Shogunate. This fascinating collection brings together authentic historical currency from the closing years of the Tokugawa Shōgunate, when Japan underwent profound political and cultural change.
For more than 200 years, Japan remained largely isolated from the outside world under the rule of the Tokugawa Shōguns. That isolation came to an end in 1853 with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry's famous "Black Ships", which forced Japan to open its ports to international trade. Despite strong resistance from the ruling Shōguns and their renowned warrior class, the samurai, the old order gradually gave way to sweeping reforms. By 1868, political power had been restored to the Emperor during the Meiji Restoration, marking the end of the Shogunate and the beginning of a new era for Japan.
This unique collection captures that remarkable chapter in history with two authentic historical coins, each featuring the traditional central hole characteristic of Japanese coinage, together with an original portrait-format banknote from the period. Accompanied by informative background notes, the collection offers valuable insight into the currency, culture and history of Japan's final samurai age.
Perfect for collectors of world coins, banknotes and military history, The Money of the Samurai from Japan's Last Shogunate is a fascinating keepsake that preserves the legacy of one of history's most iconic warrior cultures.
