Uwajima Domain (宇和島藩, Uwajima-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, in what is now western Ehime Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. It was centered around Uwajima Castle, and was ruled throughout its history by the tozama daimyō Date clan. Uwajima Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part of Ehime Prefecture.[1][2][3]
