Shōgitai
The Shōgitai (
After the Battle of Ueno, some surviving Shōgitai fled north, eventually joining the rebels of the Ezo Republic. Following the defeat of Ezo, most of the few remaining former Shōgitai settled in Hokkaido as tondenhei.[3] Among the survivors was Toyohara Chikanobu, who later achieved fame as a master nishiki-e artist.
