Makino Narisada

Who was Makino Narisada?

Makino Narisada was a Japanese daimyo of the mid-Edo period, who ruled the Sekiyado Domain. Starting from relatively humble origins, he first became the karō of the Tatebayashi Domain, before following his lord Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to Edo upon Tsunayoshi's selection to be 5th shogun. In the Tokugawa shogunate, he served as Tsunayoshi's personal aide.

Narisada became a daimyo in 1680 upon receiving dispersed holdings in Hitachi Province amounting to 13,000 koku. He was then given an increase in income to 20,000 koku, before being moved to the Sekiyado Domain, which was worth 53,000 koku. With the later addition of other landholdings, his income increased yet again to 73,000 koku.
