Origins

The Honda clan descended from the Fujiwara clan through Fujiwara no Kanemichi.[1] The clan was founded by Kanemichi's son, Akimitsu's 11th generation descendant, Honda Sukehide. Sukehide lived in Bungo Province (present-day Ōita Prefecture), Honda, and took the family name from his place of residence.[2]

History

Honda Sukehide's son Sukesada became a retainer to shogun Ashikaga Takauji. For his service to the Ashikaga shogunate, Sukesada was rewarded territory in the Owari Province.[2]

Honda Yasutoshi's second son, Tadasuke, became a hatamoto. During the time of Honda Tadahiro, during Bakumatsu, the clan was listed as a daimyo and established a 10,000 koku domain, the Nishibata Domain, in Mikawa Province.[3] On July 8, 1884, Honda Tadayuki was appointed Viscount.[4]
