Ōtaki Domain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ōtaki Domain (大多喜藩, Ōtaki-han^?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Kazusa Province (parts of modern-day Chiba Prefecture). Its first lord was the famed Sengoku-era warrior, Honda Tadakatsu.

Ōkōchi Masatoshi, the famed 20th century scientist and third director of Riken Labs, was the son of Matsudaira (Ōkōchi) Masatada, the last lord of Ōtaki.[1]
