Matsudaira Sadatsuna
Inaba Masakuni, final daimyō of Yodo Domain

The Yodo Domain (淀藩, Yodo-han) uniquely situated in Yamashiro Province[1]. Its administrative center, Yodo Castle[2], was located within the boundaries of present-day Fushimi, Kyoto. The strategic significance of Yodo Castle was underscored during the Battle of Yamazaki[3]. During the Battle of Toba–Fushimi[4], Inaba Masakuni shifted his allegiance from the Tokugawa Shogunate[5] to the Imperial forces. This included closing the castle gates and denying sanctuary to the retreating forces of Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu[6].

History

In 1623, the Yodo Domain was established when Matsudaira Sadatsuna was transferred from Kakegawa Domain[7] with 35,000 koku. This was to replace the recently abolished Fushimi Domain and to fortify Kyoto. Tadatomo was instrumental in constructing Yodo Castle, distinct from the earlier Yodo Castle associated with Lady Yodo, Toyotomi Hideyori[8]’s mother. Following his transfer in 1633, Nagai Naomasa from Koga Domain[9] and subsequent daimyōs including the Ishikawa and Matsudaira clans contributed to the development of Yodo, focusing on flood control and administrative reforms. Eventually, Inaba Masatomo took over with 102,000 koku, solidifying the domain under the Inaba clan until the Meiji Restoration. The Inaba clan was later ennobled as viscounts in 1884.
