Maeda Toshitaka, the 5th son of Maeda Toshiie was awarded a fief of 10,000 "koku" by Tokugawa Ieyasu for his services during the Siege of Osaka.The location of the new holding in Kōzuke Province was selected partly to provide the Maeda clan a convenient stopping point in the "sankin-kōtai" procession to the shōgun's court in Edo.
