According to the "Conducting the Taisei Hokan 150th Anniversary Project";

> The year of 2017 marks a major milestone: 150 years since the Taisei Hokan (the Return of Political Power to the Emperor) of 1867. It was during this year that Samurai government ended, marking a turning point for the construction of a new Japan.
>
>

> Kyoto City has taken the opportunity to honor this history with the "Taisei Hokan 150th Anniversary Project." Other cities will be encouraged to participate who were connected with the major historic figures of Kyoto during the Meiji Restoration. The project will enable us to re-evaluate our predecessors who once played a major role in Kyoto. Kyoto and participating cities will communicate and cooperate with one another through special events at Nijo Castle and museums in and around Kyoto, a symposium, a product exhibition and a Meiji Restoration-themed event; people everywhere will be able to sense the unique charm of the city.

##### **幕末:Bakumatsu**

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakumatsu

> Bakumatsu (幕末 bakumatsu, "the end (matsu) of the military government (baku, short for bakufu "tent-government")) refers to the final years of the Edo period when the Tokugawa shogunate ended. Between 1853 and 1867 Japan ended its isolationist foreign policy known as sakoku and changed from a feudal Tokugawa shogunate to the pre-modern empire of the Meiji government. The major ideological-political divide during this period was between the pro-imperial nationalists called ishin shishi and the shogunate forces, which included the elite shinsengumi swordsmen.
