Fukuyama Domain (Japan)
Fukuyama Domain (福山藩, Fukuyama-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, in what is now southeastern Hiroshima Prefecture. It controlled much of Bingo Province and a small portion of Bitchū Province. It was centered around Fukuyama Castle. It was ruled in its early history by a branch of the Mizuno clan, and later the Abe clan. Fukuyama Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part of Hiroshima Prefecture.[1][2][3] It was called Bingo-Fukuyama Domain (備後福山藩, Bingo-Fukuyama-han) in the early Meiji period to distinguish it from Matsumae Domain, which was also popularly called "Fukuyama Domain" at the time.
