*''Japanese'': 水戸徳川家 ''(Mito Tokugawa ke)''
The Tokugawa of [[Mito han]] were one of the ''[[Gosanke]]'', the three branch families of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu's]] own [[Tokugawa clan|lineage]], and the highest ranking samurai families below that Tokugawa main line. Based at the 330,000 ''[[koku]]'' [[han|domain]] of Mito in [[Hitachi province]], the Mito Tokugawa were descended from Ieyasu's 11th son [[Tokugawa Yorifusa]]. The last shogun, [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]] was born into the Mito house before becoming shogun; his father, [[Tokugawa Nariaki]], lord of Mito domain, played a prominent role in [[Bakumatsu]] politics prior to his death in [[1860]].
The lord of Mito domain was one of the ''jôfu'' lords, being stationed in [[Edo]] regularly rather than engaging in alternate attendance (''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]''). The [[Mito Edo mansion|domain's primary mansions in Edo]] were located at Komagome and at Koishikawa; the site of the latter is today [[Koishikawa Korakuen|Koishikawa Kôrakuen Gardens]].<ref>"Gosanke and gosankyô," gallery labels, Edo-Tokyo Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/47163774342/sizes/k/]</ref>
