From then until the end of the Edo period, the Hachisuka were the lords of Tokushima and Awa province in Shikoku.

In the late Edo period, the clan came into national focus because of the contemporary head, Hachisuka Narihiro, who was a son of the 11th shogun, Ienari.

[2] The clan sided with the Kyoto government during the Boshin War and contributed troops to the fight in the north, as well as to security duties in Edo (Tokyo).

The clan faced internal fragmentation a year later, in the form of the Inada Rebellion,[3] and was peacefully dissolved in 1873 with the rest of the nation's han.

After the Meiji Restoration, the Hachisuka became part of the kazoku, Japan's new nobility system.
