The remains of Tsuwano Castle
In the han system, Tsuwano 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.
History
The Meiji-era author Mori Ōgai was the son of a Tsuwano retainer.
