Kawachi Province

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kawachi (河内国, Kawachi no kuni^?) was a province of Japan, which today composes the south-eastern part of Osaka Prefecture.

Kawachi's ancient capital is believed to have been near Fujiidera, Osaka, but this is not known for certain. Kawachi was a relatively small province; in the Edo period, much of it was ruled by hatamoto or administered from Osaka Castle. However, there were two domains that were centered in Kawachi: Tannan and Sayama.
