Takatori Domain

He transferred the territory to Ueno and gave Yamato to his younger brother Hidenaga in his place.

Unfortunately, he passed away without leaving behind an heir in 1637, leading to the extinction of the Honda clan for a considerable period of time.

Among them, Uemura Ieyasu, the 13th lord of the domain, achieved remarkable success in safeguarding the waters near Osaka and suppressing the Tenchu-gumi rebellion.

However, influenced by Tanisanzan, the Uemura clan held great respect for the king and consequently supported the government army during the Boshin War, guarding the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The final daimyo, Uemura Iehiro, became a chihan due to the Meiji restoration of land ownership in June 1869.
