History[edit]

Ichihashi Nagakatsu, who controlled Imao Castle [ja], supported the Eastern Army during the Battle of Sekigahara[3] and was rewarded with the preservation of his lands. In 1610, after the dispossession of Nakamura Kazutada, Nagakatsu was transferred to the Yabeshi Domain [ja] in Hōki Province.[4] In 1619, Takekoshi Masanobu constructed Imao jin'ya and assumed control of the domain. The Takeshi clan, descended from Sasaki Nobutsuna[5] of the Uda Genji,[6] served the Tokugawa shogunate.[7] Despite their significant contributions and holding substantial lands, the Takeshi clan [ja] were formally recognized as daimyō only in 1868 by the Meiji government.
