Kawagoe Castle daimyō residence, administrative headquarters of Kawagoe Domain Kawagoe Domain (川越藩 Kawagoe-han was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan . It is located in Musashi Province , Honshū . The domain was centered at Kawagoe Castle ,[ 1] Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture .
History
The domain had its beginning in 1590, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated the later Hōjō clan in the Siege of Odawara . Hideyoshi awarded vast Hōjō holdings to Tokugawa Ieyasu , who enfeoffed Sakai Shigetada as daimyō kokudaka koku
Afterwards, the domain was reassigned every couple of generations to a large number of fudai daimyō clans, spending the longest time under the control of a branch of the Echizen Matsudaira clan (1767–1867) with a rating of 170,000 koku .
The final daimyō of Kawagoe, Matsudaira Yasutoshi, served as domain governor until 1871, and was awarded the title of shishaku (marquis ) under the kazoku Saitama Prefecture .
Bakumatsu period holdings
As with most domains in the han system , Kawagoe Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[ 2] [ 3]
