Tatsuno Domain

Japanese: 竜野藩 - たつのはん

This domain had its castle in Tatsuno, Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture (which belonged to Issai County in Harima Province during the Edo period). In 1617, Honda Masatomo, a hereditary vassal, was appointed with 50,000 koku and ruled over Issai and Issai counties. In 1626, Ogasawara Nagatsugu (60,000 koku including Shikasai County), in 1633 Okabe Nobukatsu (50,000 koku including Issai and Issai counties) and in 1637, Kyogoku Takakazu, an outsider, was appointed with 60,000 koku. In 1658, it became the territory of the shogunate and the castle was demolished. In 1672, Wakisaka Yasumasa was appointed with 53,000 koku (Isai, Issai, Mino County), and the same family ruled over the domain until the Meiji Restoration, when it was abolished in 1871. In 1681, the domain's territory was transferred from Minou County to Shikisai County, and in 1747, Mashima County in Mimasaka Province was added. The domain school was Keigokan. The domain was governed by the county, town, and village magistrates. In the late Edo period, attempts were made to alleviate the domain's financial difficulties, such as by imposing controls on soy sauce, the most important domestic product (the Shoyu Shiho), but these were withdrawn in the face of resistance from the domain's residents. The domain's finances became increasingly poor, but efforts to strengthen collection efforts were unsuccessful due to a strong petition in 1848 and an uprising the following year.

兵庫県たつの市龍野（江戸時代は播磨国揖西郡に所属）を城地とした藩。1617年譜代本多政朝が５万石で入封し揖西(いっさい)・揖東郡を領した。1626年小笠原長次（飾西郡を加えて６万石），1633年岡部宣勝（揖西・揖東５万石），1637年外様の京極高和（飾西郡を加えて６万石）が入封。1658年から幕府領となり城は一旦破却。1672年脇坂安政が５万3000石（揖西・揖東・美嚢郡）で入封して以降明治維新まで同氏で変わらず1871年廃藩。1681年美嚢(みのう)郡から飾西(しきさい)郡に領地替え，1747年美作国真島(ましま)郡が加わる。藩校は敬楽(けいごう)館。領内支配は郡(こおり)・町・郷の各奉行。江戸後期には国産品の第一である醤油に対する統制（醤油仕法）などで財政窮乏の打開を試みたが，領民の抵抗にあって撤回。財政は窮乏の度を強めたが，取立て強化も1848年の強訴(ごうそ)，翌年の一揆で不成功に終わった。
