In 1601, Tokugawa Ieyasu, after winning the Battle of Sekigahara, built a castle in the Kano Domain and placed his son-in-law, Okudaira Nobumasa, to be the lord of the castle—establishing the Kano Domain. When the Okudaira clan ceased to exist after three generations, the domain was ruled by the Okubo (1632–39), Toda (Matsudaira) (1639–1711), Ando (1711–56), and Nagai (1756–1871) clans—until the Meiji Restoration.
This exhibition features the feudal lords, feudal retainers, townspeople, as well as the villagers of the domain, and traces the 270-year history of the Kano Domain, which supported the Edo shogunate as a hereditary feudal lord.
