Tottori Domain (鳥取藩,Tottori-han) was afeudal domain under theTokugawa shogunate ofEdo period Japan, in what is nowTottori Prefecture on the island ofHonshu. It controlled all ofInaba Province and virtually all ofHōki Province was centered aroundTottori Castle, and was ruled throughout its history by a branch of theIkeda clan. Tottori Domain was dissolved in theabolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part ofTottori Prefecture.[1][2][3] Tottori Domain had two sub-domains,Shikano Domain (鹿奴藩) andWakasa Domain (若桜藩). In addition, the two branches of the Arao clan, who served as hereditarykarō of the clan and castellans ofYonago Castle (15,000koku) and Kurayoshi Jin'ya (12,000koku) both hadkokudaka equivalents to that ofdaimyō.
In 1600, after theBattle of Sekigahara,Ikeda Tsuneoki's third son,Ikeda Nagayoshi (Ikeda Terumasa's younger brother) was awarded estates in Hōki Province with akokudaka of 60,000koku byTokugawa Ieyasu. This marked the start of Tottori Domain. In 1615, his son Ikeda Nagayoshi (長幸) was transferred toBitchū-Matsuyama Domain, and in his place,Ikeda Mitsumasa (the eldest son ofIkeda Toshitaka, the son of Ikeda Terumasa) was transferred fromHimeji Domain to an expanded Tottori Domain (325,000koku) which now included most ofInaba Province as well as Hōki Province. During his 16 year tenure, he built the foundations of thecastle town of Tottori.
In 1632, when his uncle Ikeda Tadao, ofOkayama Domain died, Mitsumasa exchanged Tottori for Okayama and the clan chieftaincy. Ikeda Tadao's son, Ikeda Mitsunaka becamedaimyō of Tottori at the age of two, and his descendants would continue to rule the domain to the end of the Edo period. Although the Ikeda clan of Tottori was reduced to a branch of the clan, it was Ikeda Tadao's lineage which was in direct descent from Ikeda Terumasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu's second daughter,Tokuhime, so the Ikeda clan of Tottori was regarded by theTokugawa shogunate as akunimochi daimyō clan independent of the head of the Ikeda family of Okayama Domain. In addition to being allowed to use the honorific surname"Matsudaira", the Tottori Ikeda were also allowed the use of the Tokugawa family crest, as well as being formally recognized as Tokugawa relatives (shinpan. Normally, when adaimyō enteredEdo Castle, he had to leave his sword with a retainer in front of the entrance. In addition to the Tottori Ikeda family, the privilege of retaining one's sword was granted only to the Kaga-Maeda clan and the Tokugawa clan's closest relations, which were the Tottori-Ikeda clan, theAizu-Matsudaira clan, and the Echizen-Matsudaira clan.
The domain maintained a secondary castle atYonago, andjin'ya in other important towns within the domain, such asKurayoshi,Yahashi,Matsuzaki, andUradome. The domain suffered greatly from theTenpō famine from 1833 to 1837.
During theBakumatsu period, the 12thdaimyō,Ikeda Yoshinori, was the older brother of the 15thShogun,Tokugawa Yoshinobu and had a difficult position between loyalty to the shogunate and the growing forces for theMeiji restoration. Within the domain, conflicts between the loyalists and the pro-Tokugawa factions were intense, and in 1863, an assassination of a senior vassal of the pro-shogunate faction occurred at Honkoku-ji in Kyoto. In the following year, whenChōshū Domain, with which he had a close relationship, was defeated in theKinmon Incident and was declared enemy of the crown, he began to distance himself from politics, but in theBattle of Toba-Fushimi in 1868 and theBoshin War, he was on the side of the Meiji government army. As a result, he led the clan's forces in various battles. He was awarded 30,000koku by the newMeiji government. The domain became part of Tottori Prefecture with theabolition of the han system in 1871. Ikeda Terutomo, the 15th chieftain of the clan, was made amarquis in thekazoku peerage in 1884.
As with most domains in thehan system, Tottori Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assignedkokudaka, based on periodiccadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[4][5]

Nagayuki, 2nd Lord of Tottori (1st creation) (1587–1632; r. 1614–1617)In 1685, Ikeda Mitsunaka gave 25,000koku of new rice lands to his second son, Ikeda Nakazumi, and established a cadet branch of the clan. On August 7, 1702, during the last years of Ikeda Nakazumi's reign, an additional 5,000koku was added to bring thekokudaka of the domain to 30,000koku. It existed as a "paper domain" throughout most of the Edo period with its revenues coming from the treasury of the parent domain, but on December 10, 1868, ajin'ya was established in what is now the Shikano neighborhood of the city of Tottori. Domain administration was practically non-existent, with officials dispatched from Tottori Domain in charge of domain affairs. The domain existed primarily as "insurance" to prevent attainder of the parent domain should the rulingdaimyō die without a successor. In fact, Ikeda Yoshiyasu, the thirddaimyō of Tottori, and Ikeda Yoshiyuki, the tenthdaimyō of Tottori, were adopted from Shikano Domain.
On June 27, 1864, the ninthdaimyō of the domain, Ikeda Nakatatsu, committedseppuku after a confrontation with Ikeda Yoshinori, thedaimyō of Tottori, over the dispatch of troops to Kyoto. In 1869, the domain was abolished and absorbed back into Tottori Domain. In 1884, a descendant of the lastdaimyō of Shikano became aviscount in thekazoku peerage.
