The Andō was raised to the rank of ‘Daimyo’, a Japanese feudal ‘lord’ by Tokugawa Leyasu in 1612. They ruled most of Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings. But were subordinate to the Shogun and the Emperor. ‘Daimoyo’ often hired Samurai for protection and to guard their land, usually paying in land or food.
The ‘Daimoyo’ era ended soon after the Meiji Restoration with the adoption of the prefecture system in 1871.
