Tokugawa

 

  • Class: Shinpan 2 when ruled by daimyo, unranked and no status when ruled by a Sunpu-jodai
  • Domain: Sunpu (aka Shizuoka, Funai, Fuchu)
  • Stipend: 500,000 koku
  • Headquarters: Sunpu Castle (aka Fuchu Castle, Shizuoka Castle) (Flatland)

Under the Ashikaga, was the residence of the Imagawa daimyo, the governors of Suruga. In 1569 Takeda Shingen occupied it. In 1582, after the ruin of the Takeda, Tokugawa Ieyasu, receiving the two provinces of Suruga and Totomi in fief, left Hamamatsu for Sunpu, where he erected a castle. In 1590, transferred to Edo, he was replaced by Nakamura Kazuuji. After Sekigahara (1600), he placed Naito Nobunari there, then in 1606 his own son Yorinobu, and after having transmitted the administration of the shogunate to Hidetada, he retired thither himself and in 1616 died at that place. In 1625 Tadanaga, son of Hidetada, was transferred thither from Kofu (Kai), and in 1632 when he was dispossessed, Sunpu remained the property of the Shogun.

Succession

  • Sunpu-jodai (1608-1609)
  • Iesato (daimyo 1609-1619)
  • Sunpu-jodai (1619-1625)
  • Tadanaga (1606-1634, daimyo 1625-1634)
  • Sunpu-jodai (1634- )

Under the Tokugawa Shogun, Sunpu-jodai was an official who guarded the castle of Sunpu, attended to its repairs, administered the domains that belonged to it, etc. As he was generally chosen from among the Oban-gashira, he lived in the castle with his family, and every five or six years went to Edo to give an account of his administration to the Shogun.

Notable Ancestors

  • Tokugawa Tadanaga (1606-1634)

Son of Hidetada and brother of Iemitsu. In 1617 he received the fief of Komoro (Shinano), and the following year was transferred to Fuchu (Kai -- 240,000 koku). In 1624 the provinces of Suruga and of Totomi were added to his domains and he took up his residence in the castle of Sunpu (Suruga -- 550,000 koku). The same year, he received the title of Dainagon, hence the name of Suruga-Dainagon by which he is often known. He was accused of maladministration and of plotting against his brother, the Shogun Iemitsu, wherefore he was banished in 1632, to the domain of Ando Shigenaga, daimyo of Takazaki (Kozuke), and, the following year, invited to commit harakiri.
