Takagi Masatsugu was the son of Takagi Kiyohide, one of
Tokugawa Ieyasu's 16 Generals. With holdings of 9000
koku scattered across
Sagami,
Musashi,
Kazusa,
Shimōsa, and
Ōmi Province, he was ranked as a
hatamoto. In 1623, he was appointed to the post of , a minor post which was responsible for guarding the Kyōbashiguchi and Tamazoguchi gates of
Osaka Castle for which he received an additional 1000
koku in revenue. This placed his
kokudaka over the 10,000
koku mark requited to qualify as a
daimyō, and his holdings were consolidated to 22 village in
Kawachi Province,where he constructed a ''
jin'ya''. His son, Takagi Masanari acquired an additional 3000
koku in Kazusa and
Awa Provinces, but the 3rd
daimyō, Takagi Masahiro distributed 1500
koku each to his two younger brothers. During the tenure of the 6th
daimyō, Takagi Masanobu,the domain received an exemption from the
sankin kōtai requirement to travel to
Edo on alternative years to attend the Shogun's court. Instead, the
daimyō of the domain resided permanently in Edo, and managed the domain's affairs though a
daikan and other officials. In 1769, under the 8th
daimyō, Takagi Masanori, a widespread peasant's revolt occurred in the domain which resulted in22 village headmen being summoned to the domain's Edo residence. As a result, the Shogunate blamed Masanori for mismanagement and banned him from entering
Edo Castle. During the
Bakumatsu period, the 12th
daimyō, Takagi Masahiro was ordered to dispatch troops in 1866 to suppress a revolt which had arisen in
tenryō territory in what is now
Kashiwara. The clan's finances, which had been in arrears since the mid-Edo period were close to collapse, with debts exceeding 39,000
ryō. In 1868,the
han school, "Tannan Gakkō" was opened. The final
daimyō, Takagi Masayoshi, served as imperial governor until the
abolition of the han system in 1871. He was ennobled with the
kazoku peerage title of
viscount (shishaku) in 1884. The site of the ''jin'ya
became a field of private land in 1921 and there now no trace left. An archaeological excavation in 1999 confirmed the foundations of the jin'ya'' and the han school. ==Holdings at the end of the Edo period==
