{{nihongo|'''Hirose Domain'''| 広瀬藩 |Hirose-han}} was a Japanese [[Han (Japan)|domain]] of the [[Edo period]].  It was associated with [[Izumo Province]] in modern-day [[Shimane Prefecture]].<ref name="explorer">[http://www.japanese-castle-explorer.com/province.html?name=Izumo "Izumo Province" at JapaneseCastleExplorer.com]; retrieved 2013-4-27.</ref>

In the [[han system]], Hirose was a [[politics|political]] and [[Economics|economic]] abstraction based on periodic [[cadastral]] surveys and projected agricultural yields.<ref>[[Jeffrey Mass|Mass, Jeffrey P.]] and William B. Hauser. (1987). [https://books.google.com/books?id=Hv99D510nHcC&pg=PA150&dq= ''The Bakufu in Japanese History,'' p. 150].</ref>  In other words, the domain was defined in terms of ''[[kokudaka]]'', not land area.<ref>Elison, George and Bardwell L. Smith (1987). [https://books.google.com/books?id=T2_5_W7UFXwC&pg=PA18&dq= ''Warlords, Artists, & Commoners: Japan in the Sixteenth Century,'' p. 18].</ref> This was different from the [[feudalism]] of the West.
