This guy is descended from not only the Aizu Clan Daimyo who organized the Shinsengumi, but also Matsudaira Takechiyo, better known as Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa Shogun!!! (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Wikipedia is our friend.)

Daimyo is translated as "duke" - probably better translated as "regional lord", "petty king", or "clan leader"
The Azuchi castle was the home of daimyo Oda Nobunaga, originally finished in 1579 on the shores of lake Biwa, just north of Kyoto city. It wasn't ment to be just a military structure, but were designed and built in a way that also would impress and intimidate his rivals. As that time in Japan was plagued with conflicts between clans, in 1582 Nobunaga was forced to commit seppuku (suicide) after being defeated by his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide in a coup to overthrow his covernment. The castle was thereafter burnt down. All that remains today is the stone base. This, however, is a replica in Ise Sengoku Village, which is a theme park depicting the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600).

Kimono for a man (kosode), 1760-1810
This kimono is believed to have belonged to the lord (daimyô) of the Nabeshima clan, who ruled the Saga Domain on the island of Kyūshū in south-west Japan. Subtle sophistication is a characteristic of male dress. The striking blue fabric is woven with a checkerboard pattern and there is no decoration apart from the crests (mon). The kimono was probably worn with hakama, a pleated lower garment.

Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk
(February to October 2020)
This exhibition will present the kimono as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion, revealing the sartorial, aesthetic and social significance of the garment from the 1660s to the present day, both in Japan and the rest of the world.
The ultimate symbol of Japan, the kimono is often perceived as traditional, timeless and unchanging. Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, the UK's first major exhibition on kimono, counters this conception, presenting the garment as a dynamic and constantly evolving icon of fashion.

Decades of setting up or taking down the stones can be seen in this view. The gorin-to (5-tiered marker) that is outsized to all others is similar to the ones in a row at the family grave of the feudal Honda family at a different temple. In death as in life status is still reckoned. In times of battle, civil war and other violence of the centuries sometimes the tombs of the vanquished would be reoriented upside down by the victor, or so the archaeologist have posited this explanation for what they unearth sometimes.
Statue said to depict Horio Yoshiharu (堀尾 吉晴, 1542 –1611), a Japanese daimyō during the Azuchi–Momoyama and Edo periods. He was appointed to the position of one of three chūrō (arbiters) by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was the first leader of the Matsue clan / Matsue is home to the Tokugawa-era Matsue Castle, one of the last surviving feudal castles in Japan. The present-day castle town of Matsue was originally established by Horio Yoshiharu, lord of the Matsue clan, when he built Matsue castle and planned the surrounding Castle town over a five-year period from 1607 to 1611. Matsue continued to be the seat of power in the Sanin Region for many years. The city boasts Matsue Castle, the "black castle" or "plover castle". It is one of the 12 remaining original castles in Japan. It is the second largest, the third tallest and the sixth oldest. The castle grounds include a winding path through mixed forests of bamboo, shrubs and trees, many of which are very old and identified by species. Surrounding the grounds and the castle park is the old moat, "horikawa".
