Makino Tadayuki (牧野 忠恭, October 22, 1824 – September 1, 1878) was a Japanesedaimyō of the lateEdo period.[1]
The Makino were identified as one of thefudai or insiderdaimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of theTokugawa clan, in contrast with thetozama or outsider clans.[2]
ThefudaiMakino clan originated in 16th centuryMikawa Province. Their elevation in status byToyotomi Hideyoshi dates from 1588.[2] They claim descent fromTakechouchi no Sukune,[3] who was a legendary statesman[4] and lover of the legendaryEmpress Jingū.[5]
Tadayuki was part of the senior branch of the Makino which was established atTako Domain inKōzuke Province in 1590; and in 1616, their holdings were moved toNagamine Domain inEchigo Province. From 1618 through 1868, this branch of the Makino remained atNagaoka Domain (74,000koku) inEchigo Province.[3]
Tadayuki was the 11th-generation head of this senior line of the Makino.
The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Viscount" in the Meiji period.[3]
Tadayuki served in theTokugawa shogunate as arōjū. He was the shogunates's fifty-fifthKyotoshoshidai in the period spanning September 17, 1862, through July 26, 1863.[1]
During theBoshin War of 1868–1869, the forces from Nagaoka Han fought against Meiji government forces. In this period, Tsuginosuke Kawai (1827–1868), was the military general ofthe Makino Clan; and today the Tsuginosuke Kawai Memorial Hall is sited in Naga-chô where Kawai's residence once stood. When Meiji forces took Nagaoka, Kawai withdrew towardsAizu andSendai along with Makino Tadayuki and other fleeing clan leaders.[6]
Tadayuki died inTokyo in 1878, and is buried atSaikai-ji Temple.
