Torii clan

Torii clan (鳥居氏, Torii-shi) was a Japanese daimyo family of the Sengoku and Edo periods.

His son Yukitada, moved to Yahagasho in Mikawa Province after the Jokyu War (1221), and changed his name to 'Watari'.

The family was originally granted the fief of Yahagi in Shimōsa Province in 1590.

Following the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, in 1606 the Torii were given Iwakidaira Domain in Mutsu Province, worth 100,000 koku.

Then, in 1622 they moved once more to Yamagata Domain in Dewa Province, with an annual income of 260,000 koku.
