The
Uto Domain
(30,000
koku
) was created in
Higo Province
when Tadaoki abdicated, so that Tatsutaka would have a fief to inherit upon his father's death. However, Tatsutaka died the same year, and rights of inheritance were transferred to his first son Yukitaka (1637?1690), so that he and his young siblings would be not be left impoverished. The child Yukitaka thus became the first lord of the newly created
Uto Domain
on the death of his father in 1646. He also became head of a cadet branch of the
Hosokawa clan
.
