Asano Nagaakira

First Asano lord of the Hiroshima domain

Asano Nagaakira was the first lord of the Asano line at Hiroshima. Until then he had headed the domain of Wakayama, in Kii Province. In 1619, after the dispossession of Fukushima Masanori, he was transferred to Hiroshima Castle, with a domain of about 420,000 koku covering Aki Province and part of Bingo Province. His family held Hiroshima for nearly two and a half centuries, until the return of the fiefs in 1869, making the Asano the most enduring dynasty of the castle. As early as 1620, Nagaakira had the Shukkei-en garden laid out east of the castle, entrusted to his retainer Ueda Sōko, a tea master. The ensemble remains today one of the emblematic sites of the city.
