Daimyō

They were subordinate to the shogun and nominally to the emperor and the '' kuge''. In the term, means 'large', and stands for , meaning 'private land'. From the '' shugo'' of the Muromachi period through the Sengoku to the ''daimyo'' of the Edo period, the rank had a long and varied history. The backgrounds of ''daimyo'' also varied considerably; while some ''daimyo'' clans, notably the Mōri, Shimazu and Hosokawa, were cadet branches of the Imperial family or were descended from the ''kuge'', other ''daimyo'' were promoted from the ranks of the samurai, notably during the Edo period.

The campus of Azabu is located in the Azabu district of Minato, Tokyo, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.

Date Muneatsu
Baron was a Bakumatsu period Japanese samurai, and the 2nd Imperial Governor of former Sendai Domain in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. Muneatsu was the second son of Date Munenari, ''daimyō'' of Uwajima Domain, and was adopted by Date Yoshikuni in March 1868 as his heir. At that time, he was given the Court rank of Junior Fourth, Lower Grade and courtesy titles of ''Sakon Daiyu'' and ''Jijū''. Later that year, Sendai Domain and the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei were defeated in the Boshin War of the Meiji Restoration, and Yoshikuni resigned his offices and went into voluntary retirement and seclusion in Tokyo. The new Meiji government ordered that his fourth son, the two-year-old Date Munemoto become ''daimyō'' of a much reduced Sendai Domain. In 1869, the office of ''daimyō'' was eliminated by the new government, and Munemoto became Imperial Governor of Sendai: however, as he was still a small child, the government ordered that he be replaced by Muneatsu in 1870.
