Obata Domain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Obata Domain (小幡藩 Obata-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Kōzuke Province.
In the han system, Obata was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[1] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[2] This was different than the feudalism of the West.
