Hakata Domain

Hakata Domain (伯太藩, Hakata-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. Its headquarters were located in Izumi Province, modern-day Izumi, Osaka.

History[]

Watanabe Yoshitsuna (1611-1668), the first lord of the domain, from the Watanabe branch of the Minamoto clan, was the grandson of Watanabe Moritsuna (1542–1620), lord of Terabe castle, and one of the sixteen Generals of the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616).

Yoshitsuna was appointed Sobayonin (Grand Chamberlain) by Tokugawa Ietsuna (1651–1680), the fourth Tokugawa Shogun, then became Osaka-Jōban in 1661, and received the rank of Daimyo .

The family temple of the lords of Hakata is Nanmei-ji Temple in Shimojo Otsu Village, Izumi County (present day Shimmei-cho, Izumiotsu City, Osaka Prefecture).
