Wakasa Domain

Wakasa Domain (若桜藩, Wakasa-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Inaba Province in modern-day Tottori Prefecture.[1]

In the han system, Wakasa 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.

List of daimyōs

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

gollark: Yes. It would be preferable if they did *not* do such things. But I don't think the average random soldier can be reasonably expected not to.
gollark: If everyone around you seems to be fine with it and you fear that if you seem *not* fine with it you'll be punished in some way, you'll just rationalize all the way to beeland.
gollark: The issue with "not doing it" is that humans have the whole ridiculous conformity thing going on.
gollark: Yes, they are BOTH mean.
