The Tsuwano Domain (津和野藩 Tsuwano-han?) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Iwami Province in modern-day Shimane Prefecture.[1]

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.[citation needed]
