Himeji han was an [[Edo period]] [[han|domain]] based at [[Himeji castle]] in [[Harima province]]. Its ruling clan changed numerous times in the first half of the Edo period, but the [[Sakai clan]] then became and remained the lords of Himeji from [[1749]] onward.
The first Edo period lord of Himeji was [[Ikeda Terumasa]], whose domain was rated at 520,000 ''[[koku]]''. By the time of [[Honda Tadamasa]] becoming lord of Himeji in [[1617]], the domain had been downgraded to 250,000 ''koku'', and by [[1639]], when [[Matsudaira Tadaaki]] was transferred there, to 180,000.
[[Sakai Tadazumi]] ([[1710]]-[[1772]]) was the first Sakai clan lord of Himeji,<ref>Timon Screech, ''Obtaining Images'', University of Hawaii Press (2012), 229.</ref> being transferred there in [[1749]].
