Ueda Domain

Japanese: 上田藩 - うえだはん
Ueda Domain

This clan ruled the eastern Shinano region, with Ueda Castle in Shinano Province (Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture) as its residence. In 1583 (Tensho 11), Sanada Masayuki built the castle and established a castle town. After the Battle of Sekigahara, his eldest son Nobuyuki was given 68,000 koku of rice in Chiisagata County (as well as the Numata domain in Joshu). In 1622 (Genwa 8), Nobuyuki was transferred to Matsushiro, and Sengoku Tadamasa was given 60,000 koku of rice from Komoro, including the exclave of Kawanakajima with 10,000 koku. In 1669 (Kanbun 9), he divided the 2,000 koku of rice from Yazawa. The clan system was established under Masatoshi and Masaaki, and in 1706 (Hoei 3) it was transferred to Izushi in Tajima Province (Hyogo Prefecture), from which Matsudaira Tadachika entered with 58,000 koku. In 1728 (Kyoho 13) under the second lord Tadazane, the 5,000 koku Kawanakajima domain was divided. After that, Tadayori, Tadayori, Tadayori, Tadayori, Tadayori, Tadanari, and others inherited titles until the clan was abolished. Since the Sanada clan, the Kandaka system has been followed. The clan-wide uprising in 1761 (Horeki 11) and the social reform uprising in 1869 (Meiji 2) are well known. The special products that the clan protected and controlled were Ueda stripes, Ueda tsumugi silk, and Ueda silkworm eggs. In 1871, Ueda Prefecture was merged into Nagano Prefecture.
