Himeji City Press release: November 15, 2024 Regarding the holding of the 8th Castle Citizen Seminar “The Last Lord of Himeji Domain, Tadakuni Sakai, Studying in the United States” Tadakuni Sakai was the last lord of the Himeji domain. This lord, Tadakuni, studied abroad in the United States for four years with Takasu Gaku, a samurai of the Himeji domain. However, this fact has remained largely unknown until now.
