The Inaba clan ( Japanese: 稲葉氏, Hepburn: Inaba-shi) were a samurai kin group which rose to prominence in the Sengoku period and the Edo periods. [1] Under the Tokugawa shogunate, the Inaba, as hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa clan, were classified as one of the fudai daimyō clans. [2]
The Inaba clan originated in 16th century Mino Province, [3] and claimed descent from Kōno Michitaka (died 1374), [4] who claimed descent from Emperor Kanmu (736–805). [5]
The senior branch of the Inaba are descended from Inaba Sadamichi (1551–1606), [4] who was raised in rank by Oda Nobunaga in 1564. [3] He was established in 1585 at Hachiman Domain (40,000 koku) in Mino Province. [4] In 1600, he and his heirs were installed at Usuki Domain (56,000 koku) in Bungo Province, and his descendants remained in the same place until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. [3] The head of this clan line was ennobled as a viscount (hakushaku) under the kazoku peerage in the Meiji period. [4]
