Toba Domain

This clan ruled the area around Toba in Shima Province (Toba City, Mie Prefecture). Toba Castle was a mountain castle built in 1569 (Eiroku 12) by Kuki Yoshitaka, who led the Kuki Navy and ruled the entire Shima Province. In 1597 (Keicho 2), he handed over his fief of 30,000 koku to his eldest son, Moritaka. In the Battle of Sekigahara, Moritaka belonged to the Eastern Army, and was granted an additional 20,000 koku in addition to the retirement allowance of 5,000 koku for his father, who joined the Western Army and committed suicide, and then he was given an additional 1,000 koku for his achievements in the Siege of Osaka, giving him a total of 56,000 koku. After Moritaka's death in 1632 (Kan'ei 9), a dispute over the family succession arose between his third son Takasue and fifth son Hisataka, and the shogunate decided that Hisataka (36,000 koku) would be transferred to Sanda in Settsu, and Takasue (20,000 koku) to Ayabe in Tamba the following year. In their place, Naito Tadashige was transferred from Makabe in Hitachi. During the reign of the Naito clan, the "Kanbun Incident" occurred between Shima Ichinomiya Izawanomiya and the feudal lord, Ise Imperial Grand Shrine, over the issue of sacred land. After that, Tadashige, Tadamasa, and Tadakatsu held the fief, but in 1680 (Enpo 8), Tadakatsu was ordered to commit seppuku after killing Nagai Naonaga, lord of Miyazu Castle in Tango, out of personal anger at a memorial service for the fourth shogun, Ietsuna, and his fief was confiscated and temporarily became the domain of the shogunate. In 1681 (Tenwa 1), Doi Toshimasu was appointed to the fief from Shimousa Koga, and in 1691 (Genroku 4), he was transferred to Karatsu in Hizen. In his place, Matsudaira Norisato was appointed from Karatsu, and in 1710 (Hoei 7), he was transferred to Kameyama in Ise. In his place, Itakura Shigeharu was appointed from Kameyama, and in 1717 (Kyoho 2), he was transferred back to Kameyama. He was replaced by Matsudaira Mitsuchika (70,000 koku), and eight years later he was transferred to Matsumoto in Shinano. This domain also saw frequent changes in lords, but in 1725, Inagaki Terukata (35,000 koku) was appointed from Shimotsuke Karasuyama in Shimotsuke, and the domain was in operation for 147 years over eight generations, including Terunaka, Nagamochi, Nagatsugu, Nagakata, Nagaaki, Nagayuki, and Nagahiro. During the time of Nagatsugu, the Nakiri Incident (1830) occurred, in which rice tax from a shipwreck was concealed. The domain was abolished in 1871 (Meiji 4), and after passing through Toba Prefecture and Watarai Prefecture, it was incorporated into Mie Prefecture in 1876.

志摩(しま)国鳥羽（三重県鳥羽市）周辺を領有した藩。鳥羽城は1569年（永禄12）、九鬼(くき)水軍を率いて志摩国一円を支配した九鬼嘉隆(よしたか)が築城した山城(やまじろ)で、彼は97年（慶長2）鳥羽3万石の封を嫡子守隆(もりたか)に譲る。関ヶ原の戦いで守隆は東軍に属し、西軍にくみし自刃した父の隠居料5000石とほかに2万石加増され、ついで大坂の陣での功で1000石を加えられ5万6000石を領有した。1632年（寛永9）守隆没後、三男隆季(たかすえ)と五男久隆(ひさたか)の間で家督争いが起こり、幕府の裁決により、翌年、久隆（3万6000石）は摂津三田(さんだ)、隆季（2万石）は丹波綾部(たんばあやべ)へそれぞれ転封となった。かわって内藤忠重(ただしげ)が常陸真壁(ひたちまかべ)から入封した。内藤氏治世下、志摩一宮(いちのみや)伊雑宮(いざわのみや)と、藩主・伊勢(いせ)皇大神宮との間に神領をめぐる「寛文(かんぶん)事件」が起こった。以後、忠重、忠政(ただまさ)、忠勝(ただかつ)と在封したが、1680年（延宝8）忠勝は4代将軍家綱(いえつな)法会の席上、私憤から丹後宮津城主永井尚長(なおなが)を殺害したため切腹を命ぜられ、所領は没収、一時幕領となる。1681年（天和1）土井利益(とします)が下総古河(しもうさこが)から入封、91年（元禄4）肥前唐津(からつ)へ移封となる。これと交代で唐津より松平乗邑(のりさと)が入封、1710年（宝永7）伊勢亀山(かめやま)へ国替となる。入れ替えに亀山より板倉重治(しげはる)が入封、1717年（享保2）ふたたび亀山に転封。かわって松平光慈(みつちか)（7万石）入封、8年後信濃(しなの)松本へ移封。領主交代の激しかった当藩も、1725年下野烏山(しもつけからすやま)より稲垣昭賢(てるかた)（3万5000石）が入封し、昭央(てるなか)、長以(ながもち)、長続(ながつぐ)、長剛(ながかた)、長明(ながあき)、長行(ながゆき)、長敬(ながひろ)と8代、147年間在封。長続のとき、難破船の貢租米隠匿の「波切(なきり)騒動」（1830）が起こっている。1871年（明治4）廃藩となり、鳥羽県、度会(わたらい)県を経て76年三重県に編入された。
