The Yodo Domain (淀藩, Yodo-han) uniquely situated in Yamashiro Province[1]. Its administrative center, Yodo Castle[2], was located within the boundaries of present-day Fushimi, Kyoto. The strategic significance of Yodo Castle was underscored during the Battle of Yamazaki[3]. During the Battle of Toba–Fushimi[4], Inaba Masakuni shifted his allegiance from the Tokugawa Shogunate[5] to the Imperial forces.
