Annaka Domain
Location of Annaka in modern-day Gunma Prefecture
The Annaka Domain (安中藩 Annaka-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Kōzuke Province.
In the han system, Annaka 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 from the feudalism of the West.
The Meiji-era educator Joseph Hardy Neesima was the son of a retainer of the Itakura clan of Annaka.
