Okutono Domain


Okutono Domain, also known as Okudono, was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Kamo District and Nukata Districts of Mikawa Province, and in Saku District, Shinano Province, Japan. The domain was also known as Ogyū Domain and later known as Tanoguchi Domain and Tatsuoka Domain. The ruling family was the Ogyū-Matsudaira clan.

History

The Ogyū clan was a cadet branch of the Matsudaira clan based in northern Mikawa Province, and were hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa clan. Matsudaira Masatsugu was awarded a 6000 koku hatamoto post within the Tokugawa shogunate for his services in the Battle of Osaka. His son, Matsudaira Noritsugu, increased to 16,000 koku, and was thus promoted to the ranks of the fudai daimyō in 1684.
In 1713, Matsudaira Norizane moved the seat of the domain from mountainous Ogyū, and with the construction of Tatsuoka Castle, the domain also became known as Tatsuoka Domain. The domain was dissolved by the Meiji restoration in 1871 with the abolition of the han system.

Holdings at the end of the Edo period

As with most domains in the han system, Okutono Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.
