was a ''han'' or feudal domain.〔Taniguchi, Makoto and Takayuki Shiraiwa. (2005). ( ''The orphan tsunami of 1700,'' pp. 44-45 ).〕 It corresponded in the middle and northern parts of modern Iwate Prefecture and the eastern part of modern Aomori Prefecture. It is sometimes colloquially called . Its income was 100,000 (koku). The Morioka domain was a member of the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei in 1868, and its troops fought in the Boshin War. ==History== The Nanbu clan sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army during the Battle of Sekigahara. In the wake of Ieyasu's victory, the Nanbu clan was confirmed in its lordship of the (also known as the ).〔''Nihonshi yōgoshū'' (Tokyo: Yamakawa shuppansha, 2000), p. 104.〕 The income rating was placed at 100,000 ''koku'', but later in the Edo era, Morioka was given the political ranking of a domain twice its size.〔 ("Morioka-han" on Edo 300 HTML ) (accessed 15 August 2008)〕 The Nanbu clan remained here for the entirety of the Edo Period, surviving until the Meiji Restoration. Over the course of the Edo period, two new branches of the Nanbu clan were founded. One of them was granted the fief of Hachinohe,〔 ("Hachinohe-han" on Edo 300 HTML ) (accessed 15 August 2008)〕 and the other one was granted the fief of Shichinohe.〔 ("Shichinohe-han" on Edo 300 HTML ) (accessed 15 August 2008)〕 A Dutch ship, the ''Breskens'', arrived in Nanbu territory in the late 16th century; a shore party from the ship was captured by local authorities and taken to Edo.〔Papinot, ''Historical and Geographical Dictionary of Japan'', p. 771.〕 In 1821, the old tensions between the Nanbu and Tsugaru flared once more, in the wake of the , a foiled plot by Sōma Daisaku, a former retainer of the Nanbu clan, to assassinate the Tsugaru lord. Though no Nanbu lord ever held shogunate office, the Nanbu of Morioka (together with many of the other domains of northern Honshū) assisted the shogunate in policing the frontier region of Ezochi (now Hokkaido).〔Noguchi Shin'ichi (2005). ''Aizu-han''. (Tokyo: Gendai shokan), p. 194.〕 The Nanbu clan's territories were among those affected by the Tenpo famine of the mid-1830s. During the Boshin War of 1868-69, the Nanbu clan was initially neutral.〔Hoshi, ''Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei'', pp. 88-89.〕 However, under the leadership of Nanbu Toshihisa and the clan elder (家老, ''karō'') Narayama Sado, the Nanbu clan later sided with the northern alliance (the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei).〔Onodera, ''Boshin nanboku sensō to Tōhoku seiken'', p. 140.〕 Morioka troops led the attack on the Akita Domain, which had seceded from the alliance and sided with the imperial government.〔Onodera, p. 194.〕 After the war, the Nanbu clan's holdings were drastically reduced by the imperial government as punishment for siding with the northern domains. The Nanbu of Morioka were then briefly moved to Shiroishi.〔''Nanbu chūi'' 南部中尉, p. 4. (Accessed from (National Diet Library ), 15 August 2008)〕 Two years after the war, as with all other daimyo, the heads of all three Nanbu branches were relieved of their offices by the abolition of the han system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morioka Domain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
