The Nariwa Domain (成羽藩, Nariwa-han), was a feudal domain during the Edo period, encompassing the area around Nariwa Village in Kawakami District, Okayama, Bitchu Province[1] (present-day Nariwa-cho, Takahashi, Okayama, Okayama Prefecture[2]). For the majority of the Edo period[3], it was under the control of the kotai yoriai rank of hatamoto[4]. The domain's administrative center was located in Nariwa Castle, which was later referred to as Nariwa jin'ya.

History[edit]
The Nariwa Domain began in 1617 when Yamazaki Ieharu, the lord of Wakasa Domain in Inaba Province, was granted an additional 35,000 koku for his military achievements during the Siege of Osaka[5]. He constructed the Nariwa Castle. During his tenure, Ieharu was heavily involved in shogunate affairs, including the defense of Mihara Castle[6] in 1619 and the construction of Osaka Castle's stone walls in 1620. His expertise earned him the reputation of a master castle builder. Ieharu also promoted the development of new rice fields in Asakuchi, a project highly valued by the shogunate.
In 1638, Yamazaki Ieharu was granted an additional 7,000 koku, bringing his total to 42,000 koku in the Tomioka Domain, Higo Province[7]. In 1657, Ieharu's grandson, Yamazaki Harutaka, died, causing the forfeiture of the Marugame Domain[8]. The Yamazaki clan retained control until the Meiji Restoration. The clan’s notable achievements include the development of new rice fields, which significantly contributed to their status elevation during the Meiji period.
