Hirado Domain (平戸藩, Hirado-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It is associated with Hizen Province in modern-day Nagasaki Prefecture.[1]
In the han system, Hirado was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[2] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[3] This was different from the feudalism of the West.
