The Yagyu Domain (柳生藩) was a domain that ruled the Soekami District, Yamato Province (present-day Yagyu District , Nara City ) . Although it was a small domain with an income of about 10,000 koku, the Yagyu family (Edo Yagyu family) played an important role in the Tokugawa Shogunate as swordsmanship instructors for generations of the Shogun family. The domain office was Yagyu Jinya .[1]
History[edit]
After the death of Yagyū Munenori , the founder of the Yagyū domain, the domain of 12,500 koku was given to his famous eldest son, Yagyu Mitsuyoshi, 8,300 koku, his third son Yagyu Munefuyu, 4,000 koku, and his fourth son, Yagyu Muneari. Since the Yagyu family was only known to have 200 koku, they changed from daimyo to hatamoto . After Miwao's death, Munefuyu inherited the family headship and estate (4,000 koku was returned to the shogunate), and in 1668 he was given an additional 1,700 koku, returning him to the status of a daimyo with a fief of 10,000 koku. The domain's office was Yagyu Jinya.[2][3]
After that, the Yagyu family ruled for 13 generations, until the Meiji era.[4]
