The Takatori Domain (高取藩, Takatori-han) was a feudal domain located in Yamato Province, in what is now Takatori-cho, Takaichi-gun, Nara Prefecture[1]. The domain's administrative center was Takatori Castle[2].
History[edit]
From the Sengoku period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period[4], Yamato Province was ruled by Tsutsui Junkei, who served under Oda Nobunaga[5], but after Junkei's death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi[6], who took control of Japan, sent Junkei's successor Tsutsui Sadatsugu to Iga Province[7]. Honda Toshimasa, who succeeded Toshihisa, served Hideyoshi, but at the[8] Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with the eastern army and fought bravely against the western army that attacked Yamato Province, and was awarded 20,000 yen for his military service.
Honda Masatake, the son of Honda Toshimasa, demonstrated his military prowess by serving on the Tokugawa side during the Siege of Osaka and contributing to the restoration and construction of Osaka Castle and the Great Pagoda on Mt. Koya.
In collaboration with Oda Nagayoshi, the lord of Shibamura Domain, they suppressed former shogunate territories in Yamato. The final daimyo, Uemura Iehiro, became an imperial governor due to the Meiji Restoration. In 1871, with the abolition of domains and establishment of prefectures, he resigned, leading to the dissolution of the Takatori Domain.
Following the dissolution, Takatori was incorporated into Nara Prefecture through Takatori Prefecture.
