, also known as Uta-no-kami,〔Bodart-Bailey, Beatrice. (1999). ( ''Kaempfer's Japan: Tokugawa Culture Observed,'' p. 442. )〕 was a ''daimyō'' (feudal lord) in Kōzuke Province, and a high-ranking government advisor and official in the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan.〔Sansom, George Bailey. (1963). ( ''A History of Japan: 1615-1867,'' pp. 54 ).〕 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== Tadakiyo was part of the senior branch of the Sakai. The ''fudai'' Sakai clan originated in 14th century Mikawa province.〔Appert, ( p. 76 ).〕 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. Hirochika's younger son, Sakai Masachika, served several Tokugawa clan leaders -- Nobutada, Kiyoyasu and Hirotada; and in 1561, Masachika was made master of Nishio Castle in Mikawa.〔 Sakai Sigetada, who was the sun of Masachika, received the fief of Kawagoe Domain in Musashi province in 1590; and then in 1601, Sigetada was transferred to Umayabashi Domain in Kōzuke province.〔Papinot, ( p. 51 ).〕 In 1749, the descendants of Tadakiyo were transferred to Himeji Domain (150,000 ''koku'') in Harima province, where they continued to live up through the Meiji Restoration.〔 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 Tadakiyo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
