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.

In [[1863]], the lords of Hiroshima dispatched [[Miyata Gonzaburo|Miyata Gonzaburô]] to [[Kagoshima]], where he negotiated with the lord of [[Satsuma han]] for Satsuma to lend Hiroshima some 100,000 ''[[currency|ryô]]'', for purchasing warships. Hiroshima would pay back this loan with annual payments of 10,000 ''[[koku]]'' of rice, plus eight ''shu'' in precious metals, to be handed over in the Hiroshima domain port town of [[Mitarai]]. In actual practice, the payments ended up being in not only rice, but accompanied by some amount of copper or bronze, iron or steel, and spun cotton thread. This constituted secret trade, in violation of shogunate policy, but seems to have gone on quite smoothly and successfully nevertheless.<ref>''Mitarai tsûshi'' 御手洗通志 13 (Feb 2004), 2.</ref>
