Owari Tokugawa clan

- Japanese: 尾張徳川家 (Owari Tokugawa ke)
The Tokugawa of Owari province were one of the Gosanke, the three branch families of Tokugawa Ieyasu's own lineage, and the highest ranking samurai families below that Tokugawa main line. Based at the 619,500 koku[1] domain of Owari with Nagoya as their castle, the Owari Tokugawa were descended from ....
The clan maintained two mansions in Edo: one at Kôjimachi/Yotsuya (the neighborhood is now known as Kioi-chô and Sophia University occupies grounds previously belonging to this mansion), and one at Ichigaya. The grounds of the latter is today home to the Ministry of Defense.
Many of the treasures previously owned by the Tokugawa lords of Owari are today held in the Tokugawa Art Museum in Nagoya.
