Fukuoka Domain (福岡藩, Fukuoka han) [1]was a domain in Japan during the Edo period. It was located in Chikuzen Province, which is now part of Fukuoka Prefecture on Kyushu Island. The domain was sometimes referred to as Chikuzen Domain or Kuroda Domain, named after the ruling Kuroda family.
Unlike the feudalism system in the West, the han system in Fukuoka was a political and economic concept based on regular cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields. The domain's definition was determined by its kokudaka, a measure of its income, rather than its land area.[2]
With a kokudaka rating of 473,000 koku, the Fukuoka Domain was the fifth-largest domain in Japan, excluding those held by the
In the
History
In 1600, Kobayakawa Hideaki, who had previously controlled a portion of Chikuzen, was relocated to the Okayama Domain in Bizen Province. This domain was established when Kuroda Nagamasa, the ruler of the Nakatsu Domain in Buzen Province, was granted a substantial landholding of over 523,000 koku in Chikuzen Province as a reward for his military achievements in the Battle of Sekigahara. The Matsudaira surname, along with one of the characters from the Shogun's actual name, were bestowed upon subsequent feudal lords from the 2nd Tadayuki onwards. The designated seating area within the Great Hall of Edo Castle is known as "Matsu no-ma," as well as the upper room in the Great Corridor. From the 9th generation Naritaka until the present day, the Matsudaira clan of Chikuzen Province resided within Edo Castle until the conclusion of the Edo period. During the Edo period, the Edo shogunate made changes to the sankin kotai system, reducing the required period of stay in Edo from one year out of two to approximately three months out of two years. This adjustment aimed to alleviate the financial burden placed on the domains, as they were responsible for providing security during the period of stay. This duty of protecting Nagasaki continued until the end of the Edo period.
Initially, when entering Chikuzen Prefecture, the residence of the lord was Najima Castle, which was constructed by Sengoku warlord
