Hirado Domain
Hirado Domain (平戸藩), also known as Hirado-han, was a domain during the Edo period in Japan. It was located in Hizen Province, which is now part of Nagasaki Prefecture. The han system in Hirado was a political and economic concept that relied on surveys and projected agricultural yields, rather than land area, to define the domain. This system was distinct from the feudalism of the Western world.
