The Yonezawa Domain Uesugi clan cemetery (米沢藩主上杉家墓所, Yonezawa-han-shu Uesugi-ke bosho) is located in the city of Yonezawa, Yamagata. The cemetery contains the graves of the successive daimyō of Yonezawa Domain over a 390-year period, each housed in its own memorial wooden chapel. The cemetery was designated a National Historic Site in 1984. During the Sengoku period, the powerful Uesugi clan ruled Echigo Province as virtually independent warlords. Forced eventually to submit to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they were transferred to a vast domain centered at Aizu with a kokudaka of 1.2 million koku. However, as the Uesugi opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Sekigahara Campaign, they were declared ‘’tozama daimyō’’ (outsider lords) under the new Tokugawa shogunate. Their territory was reduced to Yonezawa Basin and area straddling the border between Dewa Province and Mutsu Province with a kokudaka of only 300,000 koku. They rebuilt the ancient Yonezawa Castle, where they ruled to the Meiji restoration. The clan cemetery contains the graves and memorial chapels of the first daimyō of Yonezawa, Uesugi Kagekatsu through the 11th daimyō, Uesugi Masatada. More information...
