*''Japanese'': 水戸藩 ''(Mito han)''
Ruled by one of the Three [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] ''[[Gosanke]]'' branch families, Mito domain was one of the more prominent [[han|domains]] in [[Edo period]] Japan. The lord of Mito domain was one of the ''jôfu'' lords, being stationed in [[Edo]] regularly rather than engaging in alternate attendance (''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]''). The domain's primary [[daimyo yashiki|mansions]] in Edo were located at Komagome and at Koishikawa; the site of the latter is today Koishikawa Kôrakuen Gardens.<ref>"Gosanke and gosankyô," gallery labels, Edo-Tokyo Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/47163774342/sizes/k/]</ref>

Mito was located a short distance north of the shogunal capital of [[Edo]], in what is today [[Ibaraki prefecture]]. The domain is famous primarily for its development of a nativist and isolationist school of thought, known as [[Mitogaku]], which would prove to align well with the ''[[sonno|sonnô]] [[joi|jôi]]'' ("revere the emperor, expel the barbarians") philosophy which became popular in the [[Bakumatsu period]].
