Himeji Domain
was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Harima Province in what is now the southern portion of modern-day Hyōgo Prefecture. It was centered around Himeji Castle, which is located in what is now the city of Himeji, Hyōgo. History During the Muromachi period, the area around Himeji was part of the vast holdings of the Akamatsu clan, the ''shugo'' of Harima Province; however, by the Sengoku period, the greatly weakened Akamatsu were defeated by the forces of Oda Nobunaga under his general Hashiba Hideyoshi and the early Himeji Castle was surrendered by Kuroda Yoshitaka. After Hideyoshi succeeded Oda Nobunaga, he assigned the castle to his son Kinoshita Iesada with an estate of 25,000 '' koku''. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu relocated Kinoshita to Bitchu Province in 1600 and assigned Himeji to his general and son-in-law Ikeda Terumasa. Ikeda Terumasa was formerly lord of Yoshida Domain in Mikawa Province with a '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Junshi
refers to the medieval Japanese act of vassals committing seppuku (a voluntary suicide) for the death of their lord. Originally it was only performed when the lord was slain in battle or murdered. Background The practice is described by Chinese chronicles, describing the Wajin (ancient people), inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago, going as far back as the seventh century. According to the ''Records of the Three Kingdoms#Book of Wei (魏書), Records of the Three Kingdoms'', Book of Wei, vol. 30, a decree in 646 forbade ''junshi'', but it obviously continued to be practiced for centuries afterwards. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, battle and war were almost unknown, and ''junshi'' became quite popular with vassals even when their masters died naturally, or in some other way had not met a violent end. There were no fixed rules for ''junshi'', and to some extent it depended on the circumstances, the importance of the lord and esteem in which he was held by his followers, as well ...

People Of Azuchi–Momoyama-period Japan
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

17th-century Deaths From Tuberculosis
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 ( MDCI), to December 31, 1700 ( MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French ''Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde. The semi-feudal territorial French nobility was weakened and subjugated to the power of an absolute monarchy through the reinvention of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to a gilded prison, in which a greatly expanded royal court could be more easily ...

Honda Clan
The is a Japanese family that claims descent from the medieval court noble Fujiwara no Kanemichi. The family settled in Mikawa and served the Matsudaira clan as retainers. Later, when the main Matsudaira family became the Tokugawa clan, the Honda rose in prestige. The clan includes thirteen branches who had ''daimyō'' status, and forty-five who had ''hatamoto'' status. Arguably the most famous member of the Honda clan was the 16th century samurai general Honda Shigetsugu and Honda Tadakatsu. Two of the major branches of the clan claim descent from Tadakatsu, or his close relative Honda Masanobu. Origins The Honda clan descended from the Fujiwara clan through Fujiwara no Kanemichi. The clan was founded by Kanemichi's son, Akimitsu's 11th generation descendant, Honda Sukehide. Sukehide lived in Bungo Province (present-day Ōita Prefecture), Honda, and took the family name from his place of residence. History Honda Sukehide's son Sukesada became a retainer to shogun Ashika ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
