Hitoyoshi Domain


The Hitoyoshi Domain was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Higo Province in modern-day Kumamoto Prefecture.
In the han system, Hitoyoshi was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields. In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area. This was different from the feudalism of the West.

History

The Sagara clan was established at Hitoyoshi in the 13th century; and they stayed in the same place until the Meiji Restoration.
