Makino clan
The Makino clan (牧野氏, Makino-shi?) are a daimyō branch of the samurai Minamoto clan in Edo period Japan.[1]
In the Edo period, the Makino were identified as one of the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan, in contrast with the tozama or outsider clans.[1]
Makino clan branches
The fudai Makino clan originated in 16th century Mikawa Province. Their elevation in status by Toyotomi Hideyoshi dates from 1588.[1] They claim descent from Takenouchi no Sukune,[2] who was a legendary Statesman[3] and lover of the legendary Empress Jingū.[4]
- c. Another cadet branch of the Makino was created in 1634.[1] They were established at Yoita Domain in Echigo Province in 1634; and then, from 1702 through 1868, this branch was transferred to Komoro (15,000 koku) in Shinano Province. The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Viscount" in the Meiji period.[2]
