Takada Domain
(September 8, 1649 – May 30, 1706) was the second "daimyō" of Toyama Domain. Masatoshi was the second son of Maeda Toshitsugu and became "daimyō" on the death of his father in 1674. Although he continued the public works projects begun by his father, the domain faced financial problems as much of the best farmland in the area remained under the control of Kaga Domain, which also raided the treasury of Toyama Domain whenever it needed funds. He attempted to start new industries, including the selling of Traditional Chinese medicines, for which Toyama later became famous. In 1681, he was called upon to send his forces to Takada Domain in Echigo Province to enforce the attainder of that domain. He died in 1706 at the age of 58. His wife was a daughter of Nakagawa Hisakiyo of Oka Domain.
