noun
lord; master; nobleman; noblewoman; dignitary
Archaic honorific title for a high-ranking person, especially a feudal lord or noble. Used in historical contexts; not used in modern everyday speech.
「お館様、ご無事で何よりでございます。」
"My lord, I am most relieved to see you safe."
時代劇では、家臣が主君を「お館様」と呼ぶ場面がよく出てくる。
In period dramas, scenes where retainers call their lord "o-yakata-sama" often appear.
Also an archaic honorific for a lord, but 殿 is more commonly used as a suffix attached to names or titles, while お館様 is a standalone respectful address.
Similar meaning, but お殿様 is more widely recognized and used in modern contexts to refer to feudal lords in a somewhat playful or story-like manner.
Combination of honorific prefix お, 館 (yakata, 'mansion, residence of a noble'), and honorific suffix 様 (sama). Literally 'honorable mansion person', used as a respectful title for a lord or noble.
