Takatsuki Domain

This was a domain that ruled the area around Takatsuki in Settsu Province (Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture). As it was an important location halfway between Kyoto and Osaka, after the Summer Siege of Osaka in 1615 (Genwa 1), when Naito Nobumasa came from Nagahama in Omi Province (Shiga Prefecture) with 40,000 koku of rice, the domain saw frequent changes in fudai daimyo with stipends of 20,000 to 50,000 koku. In 1617, after Naito Nobumasa was transferred to the position of lord of Fushimi Castle, Toki Sadayoshi (20,000 koku), Matsudaira (Katahara) Ienobu (20,000 koku) were given the fief in 1619, Okabe Nobukatsu (more than 51,000 koku) in 1635 (Kan'ei 12), Matsudaira (Katahara) Yasunobu (36,000 koku) in 1640, and Nagai Naokiyo came to the fief from Nagaoka in Yamashiro Province (Kyoto Prefecture) with 36,000 koku in 1649 (Keian 2). The fief was held by 13 generations of Naotoki, Naotane, Naotatsu, Naohide, Naozane, Naoyuki, Naoyoshi, Naonobu, Naotomo, Naoteru, Naotsura, and Naomasa. Takatsuki Castle was built during the reign of Naito Nobumasa, but the castle town was developed during the reign of Nagai Naokiyo. The 10th head of the clan, Naoyo, established the domain school Seigado to encourage learning, and many graduates from the domain include Mori Kanjuku, Fujii Chikugai, and Takashina Shunho. After the domain was abolished in 1871 (Meiji 4), the area was incorporated into Osaka Prefecture via Takatsuki Prefecture.

摂津(せっつ)国高槻（大阪府高槻市）周辺を領有した藩。京、大坂の中間に位置する要地であるため、1615年（元和1）大坂夏の陣後、内藤信正(のぶまさ)が近江(おうみ)国（滋賀県）長浜から4万石で入封して以来、2万石ないし5万石余で譜代(ふだい)大名が頻繁に交代した。すなわち、1617年内藤信正が伏見(ふしみ)城代に転出したあとに土岐(とき)定義（2万石）、19年松平（形原(かたのはら)）家信（2万石）、35年（寛永12）岡部宣勝(のぶかつ)（5万1000石余）、40年松平（形原）康信（3万6000石）と続き、49年（慶安2）永井直清(なおきよ)が山城(やましろ)国（京都府）長岡から3万6000石で入封。直時、直種、直達(なおたつ)、直英、直期(なおざね)、直行、直珍(なおよし)、直進(なおのぶ)、直与(なおとも)、直輝、直矢(なおつら)、直諒(なおまさ)の13代にわたって在封した。高槻城は内藤信正時代に築かれたが、永井直清のとき城下町が整備された。10代直与は藩校菁莪(せいが)堂を開設して学問を勧め、森儼塾(げんじゅく)、藤井竹外(ちくがい)、高階(たかしな)春帆らが輩出している。1871年（明治4）廃藩後、高槻県を経て大阪府に編入された。
