From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an incomplete list of the major Han of the Tokugawa period. Han were feudal domains that formed the effective basis of administration in Tokugawa-era Japan. The han are given along with their approximate borders compared with the modern prefecture system.
The han system was abolished by the Meiji government in 1871.
