Fukuchiyama Domain (福知山藩,Fukuchiyama-han) was afeudal domain under theTokugawa shogunate ofEdo period Japan, located inTanba Province in what is now the west-central portion of modern-dayKyoto Prefecture. It was centered initially aroundFukuchiyama Castle in what is now the city ofFukuchiyama, Kyoto.[1][2][3]
In 1579,Oda Nobunaga grantedTanba Province in its entirety toAkechi Mitsuhide. Mitsuhide entrusted the Fukuchiyama region to his brother-in-lawAkechi Hidemitsu. When Mitsuhide rebelled against Nobunaga in theHonnō-ji Incident in 1591, Hidemitsu served in the vanguard of the Akechi armies, and after Mitsuhide's defeat at theBattle of Yamazaki, he famously crossedLake Biwa toSakamoto Castle, where he committed suicide with Mitsuhide's widow and children. Afterwards,Toyotomi Hideyoshi awarded the Fukuchiyama area to his generals Sugihara Ieji and Onogi Shigeuji, both of whom were subsequently killed in 1600 at theSiege of Tanabe fighting for the Western Army. Following his victory at theBattle of Sekigahara,Tokugawa Ieyasu granted Fukuchiyama to Arima Toyouji, who was transferred fromYokosuka inMikawa Province to becomedaimyō of the new 60,000koku Fukuchiyama Domain under theTokugawa Shogunate. When his father died in 1602, he inherited an additional 20,000koku, raising the domain to akokudaka of 80,000koku. He constructedFukuchiyama Castle and thecastle town, conducted a land survey, and set the foundations for the domain. However, after his transfer toKurume Domain in 1620, the domain passed through a number of clans in rapid succession. In August 1621, Okabe Nagamori was transferred fromTanba-Kameyama Domain, but was transferred toOgaki Domain inMino Province in September 1624. He was replaced by Inaba Norimichi from Nakajima Domain inSettsu Province, but due to bad government and paranoia against Kyōgoku Takahiro ofMiyazu Domain in neighboringTango Province, he raised an army of 1500 troops and planned to invade. The shogunate quickly intervened and Inaba, cornered in Fukuchiyama Castle, shot himself in the head with a gun in 1648. In 1649, Matsudaira Tadafusa was transferred fromKariya Domain inMikawa Province. He was noted for performing a new land survey, which continued to be used into theMeiji period. He was transferred toShimabara Domain in 1669, and was replaced by Kutsuki Tanemasa fromTsuchiura Domain inHitachi Province. The Kutsuki clan would continue to rule Fukuchiyama until theMeiji restoration, although the domain's finances were alway precarious, especially after theKyōhō famine of 1732-1733. Peasant uprisings were frequent occurrences. Among the successivedaimyō, Kutsuki Nobutsuna and Kutsuki Masatsuna were noted as literati, and promotedrangaku studies. the 9thdaimyō, Kutsuki Tomotsuna, promoted fiscal and financial reforms. During theBakumatsu period, the finaldaimyō, Kutsuki Moritsuna, surrendered to imperial forces after the defeat of the pro-Tokugawa army at theBattle of Toba-Fushimi. Following theabolition of the han system in 1871, he relocated toTokyo, and devoted the remainder of his life to providing relief measures for his formersamurai retainers. His son, Viscount Kutsuki Tsunasada, was a major general in theImperial Japanese Army, politician, and noted researcher of gunpowder.
Fukuchiyama Domain became "Fukuchiyama Prefecture" in 1871, and was merged into "Toyooka Prefecture". It was transferred to Kyoto Prefecture in 1876.
As with most domains in thehan system, Fukuchiyama Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assignedkokudaka, based on periodiccadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[4][5]
