Monbatsu

Monbatsu (門閥) is the Japanese language term for the old Japanese aristocracy and nobility.[1] The daimyō system was abolished with the Meiji Restoration. This did not, however, dismantle all the aspects of the clan system, nor achieve a thorough land reform. The Monbatsu persisted as a recognised block having political influence, into the twenty-first century.
