Nagaoka Domain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nagaoka Domain (長岡藩 Nagaoka-han?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Echigo Province (with its castle in modern-day Nagaoka, Niigata). It was ruled by the Makino clan for most of its history. It was also the center of some of the fiercest fighting of the Boshin War, during the summer of 1868. Nagaoka joined the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei during the war, and fought against the imperial army. Kawai Tsugunosuke and Yamamoto Tatewaki were two senior Nagaoka commanders during the war.
Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku was the son of a Nagaoka samurai.
