Hirose Domain (広瀬藩, Hirose-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Izumo Province in modern-day Shimane Prefecture.
History
In 1666, Konei, the second son of Matsudaira Naomasa, the lord of the Matsue Domain, was given 30,000 koku and established the domain. In 1682, Konei was halved for the crime of being involved in the Echigo Disturbance, but in 1686, he was increased by 5,000 koku and 10,000 koku in 1694, and it became 30,000 koku again, and then he was sealed for 205 years in the 10th generation. In 1850, the eighth generation, Naohiro, was praised as a public official of the shogunate and became the lord of the castle.
In 1871, it became Hirose Prefecture due to the Haihan-chiki Prefecture, and in the same year, it merged with Matsue Prefecture, Mori Prefecture, and part of Hamada Prefecture (Oki region) to become Shimane Prefecture.
The Matsudaira family, the lord of the domain, was made a peerage in 1882, and was conferred a viscount in 1884. [1]
In the han system, Hirose was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[2] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[3] This was different from the feudalism of the West.
