Description
The Kazoku (華族, "Magnificent/Exalted lineage") was the hereditary peerage of the Empire of Japan, which existed between 1869 and 1947. They succeeded the feudal lords ( daimyō ) and court nobles ( kuge ), but were abolished with the 1947 constitution.
Kazoku (華族) should not be confused with "kazoku (家族)" , which is pronounced the same in Japanese, but with a different character reading that means "immediate family" (as in the film Kazoku above).
