:''For the contemporary, synonymous tairō, see Sakai Tadakatsu'' was a Japanese daimyo of the early Edo period. Tadakatsu and his descendants are linked in the history of the han at Tsuruoka (Shōnai) in Dewa province.〔Appert, Georges ''et al.'' (1888). ( ''Ancien Japon,'' p. 76. )〕 The Sakai were identified as one of the ''fudai'' or insider ''daimyō'' clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan,〔Alpert, Georges. (1888). ( ''Ancien Japon,'' pp. 76 )-77.〕 in contrast with the ''tozama'' or outsider clans. ==Sakai clan genealogy== Tadakatsu was part of the senior branch of the Sakai. The ''fudai'' Sakai clan originated in 14th century Mikawa province.〔 The Sakai claim descent from Minamoto Arichika. Arichika had two sons: one of them, Yasuchika, took the name Matsudaira; and the other son, Chikauji, took the name Sakai—and this samuari ancestor is the progenitor of this clan's name.〔Papinot, Edmund. (2003). (''Nobiliare du Japon'' -- Sakai, pp. 50-51; ) Papinot, Jacques Edmond Joseph. (1906). ''Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie du Japon;'' retrieved 2012-11-7.〕 Sakai Hirochika, who was the son of Chikauji, had two sons, and their descendants gave rise to the two main branches of the Sakai clan.〔Papinot, ( p. 50. )〕 The Senior branch of the Sakai, are descendants of Sakai Tadatsugu (1527–1596), who was a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tadatsugu was charged with the defense of Yoshida Castle in Mikawa province.〔 In 1578, Sakai Ietsugu (1564–1619) succeeded to his father's role as defender of Yoshida Castle.〔 The ''Ie-'' in the beginning of ''Ie''tsugu's name was a special honor bestowed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who intended to emphasize bonds of loyalty with those who were allowed to share in any part of his name.〔Plutschow, Herbert. (1995). ( "Japan's Name Culture: The Significance of Names in a Religious, Political and Social Context,'' p.53. )〕 When Ieaysu's holdings were transferred to the Kantō in 1590, Ietsugi was installed at Usui Domain (30,000 ''koku'') in Kōzuke province ; in 1604, removed to Takasaki Domain (50,000 ''koku'') in Kōzuke province ; in 1616, removed to Takata Domain (100,000 ''koku'') in Echigo province ; in 1619, removed to Matsushiro in Shinano province; and then, in 1622 through 1868, installed at Tsurugaoka Domain (120,000 ''koku'') in Dewa province.〔 The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Count" in the Meiji period.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sakai Tadakatsu (Shōnai)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
