Akizuki Domain (秋月藩 Akizuki-han) was a Japanese domain during the Edo period. A sub-domain of Fukuoka Domain, it was established when Kuroda Nagaoki, the third son of Kuroda Nagamasa, divided his holdings by 50,000 koku to establish a cadet branch of the clan.[1][2][3]
History
Akizuki Domain was based at Akizuki jin'ya in what is now part of the city of Asakura, Fukuoka Prefecture. While lacking a castle, its daimyō were accorded the status of castellan.
The domain played a significant role during the Meiji Restoration. In July 1871, due to the abolition of the han system, Akizuki Domain became Akizuki Prefecture and was later incorporated into Fukuoka Prefecture. The area was the center of the Akizuki rebellion in 1876, where former samurai of the domain opposed the Westernization of Japan and the loss of their class privileges. The rebellion was suppressed by the Imperial Japanese Army, and its leaders either committed suicide or were executed.[4]
In 1884, Kuroda Naganori, the final daimyō of the clan, was elevated to the kazoku peerage with the title of viscount.
