Maruoka Domain (丸岡藩, Maruoka-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan.[1] It was based at Maruoka Castle in eastern Echizen Province in what is now the Maruoka neighbourhood of modern-day Sakai, Fukui. It was ruled during its history by the Honda clan, and subsequently by the Arima clan.
History
In the Sengoku period, the area around Maruoka was controlled by Shibata Katsutoyo, the adopted son of Shibata Katsuie, one of Oda Nobunaga's leading generals. After Shibata Katsutoyo died of illness during the Battle of Shizugatake in 1583, the area was given to the Aoyama clan. However, the Aoyama sided with the Western Army under Ishida Mitsunari during the Battle of Sekigahara and were thus dispossessed by the victorious Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ieyasu awarded Echizen Province to his son, Yūki Hideyasu, who in turn created a 26,000 koku subsidiary holding centered at Maruoka for his retainer, Imamura Moritsugu. In 1612, due to an O-Ie Sōdō within Fukui Domain, the Tokugawa shogunate raised Maruoka to 40,000 koku and reassigned it to Honda Narishige, the son of Honda Shigetsugu, one of Ieyasu's leading generals. This marked the start of Maruoka Domain. Due to Honda Narishige's efforts at the Siege of Osaka in 1624, its kokudaka was raised to 46,300 koku and he was made completely independent of Fukui Domain. His son and grandson completed Maruoka Castle and the surrounding jōkamachi. However, his great-grandson, Honda Shigemasu was an alcoholic and incompetent, and was dispossessed by the shōgunate in 1695.
The Honda were replaced by Arima Kiyosumi, a descendant of the Kirishitan daimyō Arima Harunobu, who was transferred from Itoigawa Domain. HIs son, Arima Kazunori managed to get the clan's status changed from that of tozama daimyō to fudai daimyō in 1711. The 5th Arima daimyō, Arima Shigezumi served as a wakadoshiyori and the 8th (and final) Arima daimyō, Arima Michizumi rose to the post of rōjū. The Arima clan continued to rule Maruoka until until the abolition of the han system in July 1871.
Holdings at the end of the Edo period
Like most domains in the han system, Maruoka consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields,[2][3]
- Echizen Province
- 91 villages in Sakai District
- 2 villages in Nanjō District
