Kanji 譜 musical score, music, note 代 substitute, change, convert 名 name, noted, distinguished Related words 外と 様ざま 大だい 名みょう Tozama daimyo were lords who submitted to Tokugawa rule only after Sekigahara; they were generally excluded from central shogunate positions, unlike fudai daimyo.
親しん 藩ぱん 大だい 名みょう Shinpan daimyo were collateral Tokugawa family branches, holding higher prestige but not necessarily the administrative roles typical of fudai daimyo.
Etymology From 譜代 (fudai, 'hereditary' or 'successive generations') + 大名 (daimyō, 'feudal lord'). The term reflects the long-standing hereditary service of these lords to the Tokugawa house.
