Morioka Domain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Morioka Domain (盛岡藩 Morioka han?) was a han or feudal domain that encompasses present-day the middle-northern part of Iwate Prefecture and eastern part of Aomori Prefecture. It is sometimes colloquially called Nanbu Domain (南部藩 Nanbu han?). The domain was tozama daimyo and was governed by the Satake clan. Its income was 100,000 (koku). The Morioka domain was a member of the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei in 1868, and its troops fought in the Boshin War.
In fiction, the Morioka domain is the setting for sections of the novel Mibugishiden, as well as the film Twilight Samurai.
