Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tend Domain was a Japanese feudal domain of the Edo period, located in Dewa Province. Tend was a tozama domain. Tend was the site of a castle built in 1360 by Shiba Yorinao. In the 16th century, it was part of the territory controlled by the Satomi clan. From 1830-1868, its daimyo was from a branch of the Oda clan, direct descendants of the famed Oda Nobunaga. From 1767, the Oda clan has been based in nearby Takabatake, in Dewa province with revenues of 20,000 koku. However, the Temmei Great Famine of 1782-1783 hit the region very hard, and reduced many of the peasants and even samurai of the domain to starvation. The domain went bankrupt, and the Oda were shifted to the smaller domain of Tend in 1820.
