Fukuyama Domain


Fukuyama Domain (福山藩 Fukuyama-han?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Bingo Province and Bitchū Province in modern-day Hiroshima Prefecture.

In the han system, Fukuyama 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.

The hereditary daimyo were head of the clan and head of the domain.
