Kano Domain

Japanese: 加納藩 - かのうはん

A small to medium-sized fudai domain with its headquarters in Kano, Mino Province (present-day Gifu City). It began in 1601 when Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law, Okudaira Nobumasa, was granted a fief of 100,000 koku. After the Okudaira clan died out, Okubo Tadamoto entered the domain from Kisai, Musashi Province in 1632, and in 1639, the Toda clan from Akashi, Harima Province, entered the domain with a fief of 70,000 koku, replacing the Okubo clan. In 1711, the Toda clan was transferred to Yodo, Yamashiro Province, and Ando Nobutomo entered the domain from Matsuyama, Bitchu Province with a fief of 65,000 koku. During the reign of the second lord, Nobutada, a turmoil occurred within the family and 15,000 koku was confiscated, and the following year the Ando clan was transferred to Iwakidaira, Mutsu Province. The Nagai clan, who came from Iwatsuki in Musashi Province, replaced him and came into possession of 23,000 koku of land in the Kano area, as well as 9,000 koku in Settsu and Kawachi provinces, which led to the abolition of the feudal domains and the establishment of prefectures. In the mid-18th century, there were numerous lawsuits demanding a reduction in the annual tax owed to the domain's citizens, which was an indirect cause of the outbreak of turmoil within the domain. At the end of the Edo period, the domain monopolized umbrellas and skeins, encouraging their production and controlling their distribution. The domain school was the Kenshokan (later renamed the Bunbukan).

美濃国加納（現岐阜市）に藩庁を置いた譜代中小藩。1601年徳川家康の女婿奥平信昌が10万石で封じられたのに始まる。奥平氏断絶後の1632年に武蔵国騎西(きさい)から大久保忠職が入部し，1639年には大久保氏と交代で播磨国明石から戸田氏が７万石で入部した。1711年戸田氏は山城国淀(よど)へ移され，備中国松山から安藤信友が６万5000石で入った。二代信尹(のぶただ)のとき家中騒動が起こって１万5000石を没収され，翌年安藤氏は陸奥国磐城平(いわきたいら)に移された。同氏に代わって武蔵国岩槻(いわつき)から永井氏が入部，加納周辺の２万3000石のほか，摂津・河内両国に9000石を有し，廃藩置県に至った。18世紀中ごろには領民の年貢軽減を求める訴訟が多発し，家中騒動発生の遠因ともなった。幕末には傘・綛(かせ)を専売品とし，生産奨励と流通の統制を行った。藩校は憲章館（のち文武館と改称）。
