Tsushima han, based on Tsushima Island (today part of [[Nagasaki prefecture]]), was the domain of the [[So clan|Sô clan]], and managed relations with [[Joseon Dynasty]] [[Korea]].
Tsushima han, based on Tsushima Island (today part of [[Nagasaki prefecture]]), was the domain of the [[So clan|Sô clan]], and managed relations with [[Joseon Dynasty]] [[Korea]]. The territory of the domain also included small areas known as ''[[tobichi]]'' on the mainland of the island of [[Kyushu]], in [[Hizen province|Hizen]] and [[Chikuzen province]]s. The domain was ranked at 100,000 ''[[koku]]'', though its actual agricultural production was equivalent to less than 10,000. The enhanced ''[[kokudaka]]'' ranking is usually said to either be a reflection of the importance of the Korea trade and the measure of the economic benefit from it, or a result of the necessity for the Sô clan to possess a higher rank and title in order to represent Japan honorably and effectively in interactions with Korea.<ref>[[Ronald Toby|Toby, Ronald]].

At the peak of the Korea trade, the population of the domain was around 30,000, with half the population living in the [[jokamachi|castle town]] of [[Fuchu (Tsushima)|Fuchû]].<ref>Tashiro Kazui.

The trade with Korea was quite sizable, amounting, in the 1710s-1730s for example, to 30,000 ''kan'' of silver, or roughly 8% of all silver coins minted in Japan during that time.<ref>Tashiro. p303.</ref>
