Fukui Domain

Bridge at Fukui Castle

The Fukui Domain (福井藩 Fukui han), also known as Echizen Domain (越前), was a Japanese domain in the Edo period. It is associated with Echizen Province in modern-day Fukui Prefecture on the island of Honshu.[1]

In the han system, Fukui was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[2] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[3] This was different from the feudalism of the West.

History

Fukui was the castle town of the Matsudaira of Echizen.[4]

In 1686, the han was reduced from 475,000 koku to 250,000 koku.[5]
