Hiroshima ''[[han]]'' was established with [[Fukushima Masanori]] as its ''[[daimyō]]'' (feudal lord), following the [[battle of Sekigahara]] and the expulsion of [[Mori Terumoto|Môri Terumoto]], the previous lord, from the territory. However, nineteen years later, Hiroshima castle suffered extensive flood damage and Fukushima repaired it in violation of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]'s laws on the construction and repair of castles (see ''[[buke shohatto]]''). The shogunate then ordered Fukushima to [[Kawanakajima han]], and awarded Hiroshima to the [[Asano clan]], who ruled it for the remainder of the Edo period, the domain being [[abolition of the han system|dismantled]] along with all the others in 1871.
