was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Izumo Province in modern-day Shimane Prefecture.[1]
In the han system, Hirose 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.
The hereditary daimyōs were head of the clan and head of the domain.
