Sendai Domain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sendai (仙台藩, Sendai-han^?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period covering much of modern-day Miyagi Prefecture. Ruled for the entirety of its history by the Date clan, it constituted the largest domain in northern Japan, with its official income rating at 625,000 koku.

Sendai was the focal point of the Ouetsu Reppan Domei during the Boshin War. Unlike the nearby Aizu domain, Sendai survived the war largely intact, though with a severely reduced income rating. It was disbanded with the other domains in 1873.
