Daishôji han was an [[Edo period]] [[han|domain]] ruled by the [[Maeda clan]]. It was established in [[1639]] by [[Maeda Toshitsune]], who split off the territory from his own [[Kaga han|Kaga domain]], creating a new branch domain, which he gave to his third son [[Maeda Toshiharu (d. 1660)|Maeda Toshiharu]]. Located within [[Kaga province]], the domain had a ''[[kokudaka]]'' of 70,000 ''[[koku]]''.
The domain's territory covered some 133 villages in Enuma district (''gun''), as well as Kutani Village and another six villages in neighboring districts. Kutani became the center of a distinctive style of ceramics - [[Kutani wares]] - which remain among the most famous Japanese pottery styles today. Kutani wares were created originally at Toshiharu's orders.
The domain's [[Edo]] [[daimyo yashiki|mansion]] was located adjacent to that of Kaga domain, and its former location is today home to the [[University of Tokyo]] School of Medicine.
Following the [[abolition of the han]] in [[1871]], the territory was briefly redesignated Daishôji prefecture, before being absorbed into [[Ishikawa prefecture]].
