Origins

The Sanada clan claimed descent from the Seiwa Genji.

engoku period

In the Sengoku period, the Sanada clan (under Sanada Masayuki) served the Takeda clan of Kai Province. He was present at several of the major battles of the Takeda.

Edo era

In the Edo era, the main line of the Sanada clan ruled the Matsushiro Domain. They were classified as "tozama" daimyo.

Sanada clan forces took part in the attack on Aizu in 1868, on the side of the imperial army. They were slated to take charge of Aizu POWs, but refused.

The head of the Sanada clan was relieved of duty as daimyo in 1871.

In the Meiji era, the Sanada family's head became a viscount, and was then promoted to count in 1891. The family held this title until the abolishment of the aristocracy in 1947.
