| Maebashi Tōshō-gū (前橋東照宮) is a Shinto Shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu in the city of Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It was established in 1624. The Maebashi Tōshō-gū was initially established in 1624 by Matsudaira Naomoto (1604-1648) in Echizen-Katsuyama Domain, over which he had just been made daimyō. Matsudaira Naomoto was the 5th son of Yūki Hideyasu, and was thus grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu. During his career, Matsudaira Naomoto and his successors were transferred so many times that they came to be known as the "wandering daimyō", and with each change in domain he had the Tōshō-gū disassembled and reconstructed at his new posting. In 1635, he was transferred to Ōno Domain, still in Echizen Province. In 1644, he was transferred to Yamagata Domain, and in 1648 he was transferred to Himeji Domain. | ||||||
