Okutono Domain (奥殿藩,Okutono-han), also known asOkudono,[1] was afeudal domain under theTokugawa shogunate ofEdo period Japan, located in Kamo District andNukata Districts ofMikawa Province (part of modernAichi Prefecture), and inSaku District,Shinano Province, (part of modernNagano Prefecture)Japan. The domain was also known asOgyū Domain (大給藩,Ogyū-han) and later known asTanoguchi Domain (田野口藩,Tanoguchi-han) andTatsuoka Domain (龍岡藩,Tatsuoka-han). The ruling family was theOgyū-Matsudaira clan.
The Ogyū clan was a cadet branch of theMatsudaira clan based in northernMikawa Province, and were hereditary vassals of theTokugawa clan. Matsudaira Masatsugu was awarded a 6000kokuhatamoto post within theTokugawa shogunate for his services in theBattle of Osaka. His son, Matsudaira Noritsugu, increased to 16,000koku, and was thus promoted to the ranks of thefudai daimyō in 1684.[2]
In 1713, Matsudaira Norizane moved the seat of the domain from mountainous Ogyū (in what is now the northern portion of the city ofToyota to the more conveniently located Okutono location (in what is now part of the city ofOkazaki. However, the domain suffered greatly due to inclement weather and flooding of the Yasaku River during theKyōhō period, which led to crop failure and famine. The problems were repeated during the Great Tenpō Famine of 1832–36, although the domain was able to escape the more severe effects of the famine due to reforms implemented by its lord,Matsudaira Noritoshi.[2]
In theBakumatsu period, the domain achieved prominence thanks to its lastdaimyō,Matsudaira Norikata, who served as a senior councilor in the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate. Another contemporary figure born in Okutono wasNagai Naoyuki. During Norikata's tenure, the domain seat was moved from Mikawa Province to the Tanokuchi district of Shinano Province (though the holdings remained unchanged), and with the construction ofTatsuoka Castle, the domain also became known as Tatsuoka Domain. The domain was dissolved by theMeiji restoration in 1871 with theabolition of the han system.[2]
As with most domains in thehan system, Okutono Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assignedkokudaka, based on periodiccadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[3][4]
