History[edit]
Shortly after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Kuwayama Kazuharu, the lord of Kii-Wakayama Domain with 20,000 koku of land, relocated to Dokokudaka and established the Fuse domain. In the 10s of the Keicho era, a new jinya and jinyamachi (castle town) were constructed around the present-day Katsuragi area, and it was designated as Shinjomura. Subsequently, the name was changed to Shinjo Village, and the domain came to be known as Shinjo Domain.
Out of the 20,000 koku, Ichiharu allocated 4,000 koku to his grandfather, Shigeharu, as retirement expenses, resulting in 16,000 koku. Following Kazuharu's demise, Kuwayama Kazunao succeeded him. Due to Kazunao's significant military achievements as a member of the Tokugawa faction during the Osaka Siege in 1614, he was promised additional territories and relocation after the war. However, on December 12, 1616, he became a hatamoto bessho. During a meeting at his residence with Magojiro, he intervened in a dispute between Haruaki Ito, a fellow hatamoto who was a guest, and Magojiro. Tragically, Haruaki Ito lost his life, and Kazushi sustained injuries. As he was held accountable for this incident, he was suspended from service, and his promised advancements were revoked. Furthermore, Kazunao distributed 3,000 koku of his 16,000 koku land to his family member Sadatoshi Kuwayama.
Kazunao was succeeded by his eldest son, Ichigen, and Ichigen was succeeded by his eldest son, Ichitaka. However, in May 1682, during Ichitaka's reign, a memorial service for the late shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna at Kan'eiji Temple took place, and Ichitaka was reprimanded for showing disrespect towards the imperial envoy.
The jinya of the Kuwayama family was destroyed during the time of the empire, while the jinya of the Nagai family was situated in Matsumoto Village, Katsukami District (now Gosho City), approximately 2 km away from Shinjo. Some argue that the lost town of Shinjo was transformed into a post town along the Koya Kaido road.
Throughout the shogunate system, many successive feudal lords of the Nagai clan held positions as Daibanto or Osaka staples. In 1863, the 8th feudal lord, Nagai Naosuke, relocated his jinya to Kushira following the reforms of Bunkyu by the shogunate. From then on, the Nagai clan continued to exist as the Kushira clan.
Kujira Domain[edit]
The Kujira Domain (鯨藩), located in Yamato Province (now Kushira, Gose City, Nara Prefecture), was established during the final years of the Edo period. The administrative center of the domain was known as Kushira Jinya. It succeeded the Yamato-Shinjo Domain, sharing the same territory and being ruled by the Nagai clan. In 1863, Nagai Naosa, the eighth lord of the Yamato-Shinjo Domain, established the Kushira Domain in Kujira after the Sankinkotai system reform. Kushira was a prosperous domain and Naosho encouraged migration and gathering of people. After Naosho's death, Naoya Nagai succeeded him and soon after, the Meiji Restoration occurred. Naoya became the governor of the Kujira Domain in 1869, but in 1871, the domain was abolished and later incorporated into Nara Prefecture.
