Changes

Though the Tsugaru controlled one of the largest domains in the realm, by sheer land area, and thus boasted considerable actual agricultural production (''uchidaka'', or ''gendaka''), they were not of sufficient lineage to merit the esteemed ''[[kunimochi]]'' status, and were ascribed a much lower ''omotedaka'' (official ''kokudaka'' standing) than their actual production. However, the Tsugaru began to receive a number of benefits by the beginning of the 19th century equivalent to those enjoyed by ''kunimochi daimyô''. In [[1808]], the domain's ''omotedaka'' or ''hôdaka'' (official ''kokudaka'') was raised to 100,000, and the Tsugaru ''daimyô'' was from then on permitted to sit in the ''ôhiroma'' of [[Edo castle]] for shogunal audiences, alongside the ''kunimochi daimyô''. In [[1824]], [[Tsugaru Nobuyuki]], the eleventh lord of the domain, was raised in [[court rank]] to fourth-rank, equivalent to a ''kunimochi'' lord.
