Kokura prefectural office (September 2005), Kokura Kita ward, Kitakyushu
The short-lived Kokura Prefecture (小倉県, Kokura-ken) of Japan was founded in December 1871 after the clan system was abolished earlier that year. It was made up of three separate han territories (Chizuka, Kokura and Nakatsu) which were, each for a short while in 1871 themselves, called 'prefectures'.[1]
Kokura Prefecture included Moji, Kokura and other areas to the south. It incorporated the Nakatsu Province (Japanese: 中津県, est. 1871), formerly the Nakatsu Domain, the Toyotsu Province (Japanese: 豊津県, formerly Kawara Domain, Japanese: 香春藩, later renamed Toyotsu Domain, Japanese: 豊津県), parts of Hita Province (Japanese: 日田県) and Chizuka Province (Japanese: 千束県, formerly Chizuka Domain, renamed from Kokura Shinden Domain, Japanese: 小倉新田藩).[1] Kokura Prefecture occupied most of the Buzen Province; in 1876 it was absorbed by Fukuoka Prefecture.[1] The city of Kokura was founded in 1900.
