Ashimori Domain
Administrative division in western Japan during the Edo period (1601-1871) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ashimori Domain (足守藩, Ashimori-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, in what is now central Okayama Prefecture. It controlled a small portion of eastern Bitchū Province and was centered around Ashimori jin'ya in what is now Kita-ku, Okayama. It was ruled for most its history by a branch of the Kinoshita clan [ja]. It was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part of Okayama Prefecture.[1][2][3] Rangaku scholar Ogata Kōan, who founded Tekijuku academy, the predecessor of Osaka University was from Ashimori Domain.
