Tokunaga clan (徳永氏, Tokunaga-shi?) was a Japanese clan of the premodern period, which claimed descent from the Fujiwara clan. During the late Azuchi-Momoyama to early Edo periods, one of its branches was the daimyo family which ruled the Takasu fief. It was dispossessed by the Shogunate, but later forgiven, and carried on as a high-ranking hatamoto family.
Famous quotes containing the word clan:
“It has now become the doctrine of a large clan of politicians that political honesty is unnecessary, slow, subversive of a man’s interests, and incompatible with quick onward movement.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
