Tenaga

Japanese: 手永 - てなが
Tenaga
In the early modern period, this was a local administrative unit established by the Hosokawa clan in Buzen and Higo, which governed around 30 villages under a county. It appears to have begun towards the end of the Keicho era (1596-1615). It is said that the name was taken from the fact that in northern Kyushu, "tenaga" meant an area within reach. In 1622 (Genwa 8), there were 73 tenaga in the territory of Kokura Domain in Buzen. After the Hosokawa clan entered Higo, they switched from the gogumi system to the tenaga system, and it is estimated that there were over 100 tenaga in the territory of Kumamoto Domain around 1635 (Kan'ei 12). By the end of the Edo period, there were 51 tenaga. The rice yield per tenaga ranged from 27,231 koku in Gonoe tenaga to 518 koku in Kugino tenaga, with an average of 10,000 koku.
