Tahara han was a small [[han|domain]] located in [[Mikawa province]], ruled by the [[Miyake clan]]. The domain is perhaps most famous for being the home of prominent [[Edo period]] scholar [[Watanabe Kazan]].
The domain's territory consisted of only twenty-four villages, alongside the castle town of Tahara.<ref>Roberts. p65.</ref> Tahara was centrally administered as a single judicial and administrative unit, and though some retainers were given honorary "fief-holding" status, all received stipends and none enjoyed a significant degree of administrative power in their "fiefs."<ref>Roberts. p28.</ref>

''(As was quite common among Edo period daimyô, the actual death dates, and the dates officially reported and recorded, often differ. The actual death date is given here first. Those figures labeled with "ret." died after retiring as daimyô.)''
