Military leader of old (6)

I believe the answer is:

shogun

(Other definitions for shogun that I've seen before include "Japanese military dictator" , "Hereditary commander of feudal Japanese army" , "Heredity commander of Japanese army" , "Former military governor of Japan" , "Feudal Japanese leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
