The Kumamoto Domain (熊本土間員, Kumamoto-han), wielded significant influence in its region. Initially overseeing 520,000 koku, its territory expanded to 540,000 koku with subsequent divisions and branch domain establishments during the Hosokawa clan's tenure. By 1871, territorial adjustments saw the domain relinquish control over parts of Higo Province (modern-day Kumamoto Prefecture) and parts of Bungo Province (present-day Oita Prefecture). It's administrative hub was at Kumamoto Castle in Kumamoto. Despite losing control over Higo, the Hosokawa clan maintained their status as feudal lords, or Daimyo, in the region. [1] [2] [3] [4]

During the Sengoku period, [5] the Kikuchi, Aso, and Sagara clans emerged as powerful clan in the northern, central, and southern regions, respectively, leading to a relatively peaceful period. However, tensions rose when the Aso clan attacked the Kikuchi clan and faced internal conflicts, prompting the Otomo clan from Bungo Province to intervene and pacify the territory. The Sagara clan, known for their defensive prowess, ultimately submitted to the Shimazu clan and adopted advanced weapons and tactics. Following the Shimazu clan's defeat by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kato Kiyomasa emerged as a significant figure, solidifying his power with substantial holdings and establishing the Kumamoto Domain. Kumamoto Prefecture [6] was established in 1871 amid the abolition of the han system, with the Hosokawa clan later elevated to the rank of marquis in 1884. In 1983, Hosokawa Morihiro, who would later serve as the 79th Prime Minister of Japan, briefly governed Kumamoto Prefecture before retiring to pursue ceramics.
Kumamotoshinden Domain (肥後新田藩), was a branch of the Kumamoto Domain. It was established in 1666 by Hosokawa Toshishige, the younger brother of Hosokawa Tsunatoshi, the third daimyō of the Kumamoto Domain. Toshige received 35,000 koku of rice from the Kumamoto domain's rice store and set up his own domain. Unlike other feudal lords, Toshige resided in Teppozu, Edo and did not practice sankin kotai, the system of alternate attendance. However, with the advent of the Meiji Restoration [7] in 1868, a provisional domain office was established at the Takase Town Magistrate's Office in Tamana City. Consequently, the domain's name was changed to Takase Domain. In 1870, a formal jin'ya, or administrative center, was completed and relocated to Iwasaki in Tamana District. In the same year, the domain was merged with the Kumamoto domain and ultimately abolished.
