Obama Domain

Obama Domain (小浜藩 Obama-han) was a Japanese domain in the Edo period. It is associated with Wakasa Province in modern-day Fukui Prefecture. In the han system, Obama was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields. In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area. This was different from the feudalism of the West.
