Uwajima ''han'' was a small [[han|domain]] located in [[Iyo province]] on the island of [[Shikoku]]. It was ruled from [[Uwajima castle]] by a branch family of the [[Date clan]] which ruled [[Sendai han]] in [[Mutsu province]] (in the [[Tohoku|Tôhoku]] region). Its rulers enjoyed honorary ''[[kuni-mochi]]'' ("province-holder") status, also known as ''junkunimochi'', despite the domain's small size.

[[Date Hidemune]], the eldest son of [[Date Masamune]], lord of Sendai, was appointed lord of Uwajima in [[1614]], and journeyed to the domain the following year; his younger half-brother, [[Date Tadamune]], succeeded their father as lord of Sendai, as Hidemune was the son of a concubine, and was thus less eligible to succeed. The Date clan then remained the [[daimyo]] of Uwajima through the end of the [[Edo period]].
