The {{Nihongo|'''Tokushima Domain'''|徳島藩|''Tokushima-han''}} was a Japanese [[Han (Japan)|domain]] of the [[Edo period]], located in [[Awa Province]] and [[Awaji Province]] in [[Shikoku]]. Ruled by the [[Hachisuka clan|Hachisuka]] family, it was rated at an income of 256,000 koku. Uncharacteristically for most domains of the Edo period, the Hachisuka were in control of Tokushima before the start of the period and remained in possession of it through the period's end.

{{nihongo|'''Tokushima Domain'''|徳島藩|Tokushima-han}} was a [[Han (Japan)|feudal domain]] under the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] of [[Edo period]] Japan, controlling all of [[Awa Province (Tokushima)|Awa Province]] and [[Awaji Province]] in what is now [[Tokushima Prefecture]] and [[Awaji Island]] of modern-day [[Hyōgo Prefecture]]. It was centered around [[Tokushima Castle]], and was ruled throughout its history by the ''[[tozama daimyō]]'' [[Hachisuka clan]].<ref name="Nakayama">{{cite book |last1=Nakayama |first1=Yoshiaki |title=江戸三百藩大全 全藩藩主変遷表付 |date=2015 |publisher=Kosaido Publishing |isbn= 978-4331802946}}{{in lang|ja}}</ref><ref name="Nigi">{{cite book |last1=Nigi |first1=Kenichi |title=藩と城下町の事典―国別 |date=2004 |publisher=Tokyodo Printing |isbn=978-4490106510}}</ref><ref name="Papinot">{{cite book | last = Papinot | first = E| year = 1910| title = Historical and Geographic Dictionary of Japan | publisher = Tuttle (reprint) 1972 }}</ref>
In the early [[Meiji period|Meiji]] era, there was a major source of conflict within the domain, as the retainers of Inada Kurobei, Lord Hachisuka's senior councilor and warden of [[Sumoto]] Castle, demanded independence for their lord and his establishment as a daimyo. With Inada's income already over 10,000 koku, this was technically possible; however, it was refused, and met with violent opposition from Tokushima. After the "revolt" was put down, the entire Inada clan and its retainers were exiled to the far northern tip of Hokkaido. Their experiences are fictionalized in the recent film ''Kita no Zeronen'' ("Year One in the North").
 
== Heads History==
[[Hachisuka Masakatsu]] was a vassal of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and dominated [[Tatsuno, Hyōgo|Tatsuno]] in [[Harima Province]]. He was awarded territories in Awa Province after Hideyoshi's [[Invasion of Shikoku (1585)|conquest of Shikoku]] in 1585; however, due to his advanced age, he turned the clan chieftainship over to his son [[Hachisuka Iemasa]]. At the time, his territory was only a portion of Awa Province, with a ''[[kokudaka]]'' of 175,000 ''[[koku]]''. He constructed Tokushima Castle, which would remain the clan's seat for the next 300 years. The clan had always been on bad terms with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] and at the time of the [[Battle of Sekigahara]], Mitsunari forced Hachisuka Iemasa to take the tonsure and forcibly exiled him to [[Mount Koya]]. However, his son [[Hachisuka Yoshishige]] was married an adopted daughter of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], and fought in the Eastern Army. As a result, the [[Tokugawa Shogunate]] restored the Hachisuka clan to their domains after the defeat of the [[Toyotomi clan]] and Hachisuka Yoshishige is regarded as the first ''[[daimyō]]'' of Tokushima Domain. Hachisuka Yoshishige went on to receive awards seven times from [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Hidetada]] for his actions at the 1614-1615 [[Battle of Osaka]] and his territories were expanded to cover all of Awa Province, as well as 70,000 ''koku'' in Awaji Province. In 1617, he was granted the remainder of [[Awaji Island]], bringing his total ''kokudaka'' to 257,000 ''koku''.

Tokushima Domain developed [[indigo]] production in the [[Yoshino River]] basin, with [[Indigo dye]] much in demand throughout the Edo Period. Indigo merchants in Tokushima almost monopolized the national market due to the quality and strong backing of the clan, and was a major source of the domain's "unofficial" revenue. Although the domain's nominal ''kokudaka'' was 257,000 ''koku'', its actual ''kokudaka'' through clan monopolies on indigo, tobacco, salt and other products came to more than 400,000 ''koku''.

The 13th ''daimyō'', Hachisuka Narihiro, was the 22nd son of Shogun [[Tokugawa Ienari]], and was therefore half-brother of the 12th Shogun [[Tokugawa Ieyoshi]] and nephew of the 13th Shogun [[Tokugawa Iesada]]. Despite these connections, during the [[Bakumatsu period]], he maintained contacts with the Imperial Court in Kyoto and was a supporter of the ''[[kōbu gattai]]'' movement, which created frictions within the domain, especially with the hereditary ''[[karō]]'', the Inada clan, who ruled [[Sumoto Castle]] on Awaji and who favored a more reactionary approach. He died suddenly during the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]] at the start of the [[Boshin War]] at the age of 48. His son [[Hachisuka Mochiaki]] switched the domain's allegiance to the Imperial side. He became imperial governor of Tokushima following the [[abolition of the han system]] and subsequently served as a cabinet minister and president of the [[House of Peers (Japan)|House of Peers]] in the [[Meiji government]]. The Hachisuka clan was ennobled with the ''[[kazoku]]'' title of [[marquis]] in 1884.

In the early [[Meiji period]], the hereditary ''karō'' and warden of Sumoto Castle, Inada Kurobei, demanded establishment as a ''daimyō''. With his ''kokudaka'' exceeding 10,000 ''koku'', this was technically possible; however, this demand met with violent opposition from Tokushima and was refused by the Meiji government. After the "revolt" was put down, the entire Inada clan and its retainers were exiled to the far northern tip of Hokkaido.

Unlike most domains in the [[han system]], which consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned ''[[kokudaka]]'', based on periodic [[cadastral]] surveys and projected agricultural yields, Tokushima Domain was a single unified holding.<ref>[[Jeffrey Mass|Mass, Jeffrey P.]] and William B.
