Kishiwada Domain

During the Edo period, this clan ruled over the central part of Izumi Province (currently Osaka Prefecture). Since 1585 (Tensho 13), it had been the territory of the Koide clan (30,000 koku), but in 1619 (Genwa 5), ​​Yoshihide moved to Izushi in Tajima, and Matsudaira (Matsui) Yasushige (50,000 koku) was appointed to the domain, and he applied for a 20% increase, which was granted, bringing his stipend to 60,000 koku. After Yasushige, Yasuteru took over, but in 1640 (Kan'ei 17), he moved to Yamazaki in Harima. Okabe Nobukatsu (60,000 koku) was appointed to the domain from Takatsuki in Settsu. In 1661 (Kanbun 1), when the second lord Yukitaka took over the domain, he gave his younger brothers Takanari and Toyoaki 5,000 and 2,000 koku respectively, bringing the total to 53,000 koku. After that, Nagayasu, Nagataka, Nagaakira, Nagasumi, Naganao, Nagatomo, Nagachika, Nagayori, Nagayuki, Nagahiro, and Nagamoto continued in the domain for 13 generations until the Meiji Restoration. During this time, the tax increase under the Matsudaira clan became an excessive burden, and dissatisfied farmers from 108 villages in the domain stormed the castle town when Okabe Nobukatsu entered the domain, plotting a strong appeal to the new lord. Nobukatsu prevented the uprising by reducing the tax rate by 3,000 koku. The tax rate in Kishiwada Domain was the highest in the country, and was usually 80-90% of the land tax recorded in the Keicho land survey, with many villages exceeding 100%. However, due to improved and advanced farming methods and the fact that Osaka was close to where commercial crops were cultivated, the actual income far exceeded the amount recorded in the land survey ledger. The domain's finances were poor, due to a combination of military preparations and recovery from natural disasters, until the domain was abolished. In 1852 (Kaei 5), the school was renovated and renamed Koshukan, allowing the domain's citizens to attend school, and in 1866 (Keio 2), the domain school Shubukan was opened. In the Meiji era, the domain passed from Kishiwada Prefecture through Sakai Prefecture and then entered Osaka Prefecture.

江戸時代、和泉(いずみ)国（大阪府）の中央部を領有した藩。1585年（天正13）以来小出(こいで)氏（3万石）の所領であったが、1619年（元和5）吉英(よしひさ)が但馬出石(たじまいずし)に移り、かわって松平（松井）康重(やすしげ)（5万石）が入封、2割の増高を上申して許され6万石となった。康重のあと康映(やすてる)が襲封したが、1640年（寛永17）播磨(はりま)山崎へ転出。摂津高槻(たかつき)から岡部宣勝(のぶかつ)（6万石）が入封した。1661年（寛文1）2代行隆(ゆきたか)襲封のとき、弟の高成(たかなり)、豊明(とよあき)にそれぞれ5000石、2000石を分与し、5万3000石となる。以後、長泰(ながやす)、長敬(ながたか)、長著(ながあきら)、長住(ながすみ)、長修(ながなお)、長備(ながとも)、長慎(ながちか)、長和(ながより)、長発(ながゆき)、長寛(ながひろ)、長職(ながもと)と13代続いて在封、明治維新を迎えた。この間、松平氏のときの増高が貢租負担の過重となり、不満を抱いた領内108か村の農民らは、岡部宣勝入国のとき城下に押し寄せ、新藩主に強訴(ごうそ)を企てた。宣勝は3000石を減額して一揆(いっき)を未然に防いだ。岸和田藩の税率は、全国的にもその類例をみないほどの高率で、慶長(けいちょう)検地の本高に対して8～9割が普通であり、10割を超過する村々も少なくない。しかし農法の改良・進歩による生産の向上と、大坂に近く商品作物の栽培が盛んであったため、実収は検地帳の高をはるかに上回っていた。藩財政は、軍備や天災復旧が重なり、廃藩まで窮乏を続けた。1852年（嘉永5）に教学所を改修して講習館と名づけ、領民の就学を許し、66年（慶応2）藩校修武館を開設。明治になり、岸和田県から堺(さかい)県を経て大阪府に入る。
