Hirado domain was an [[Edo period]] [[han|domain]] ruled by the [[Matsura clan]] from the [[jokamachi|castle-town]] of [[Hirado]], on Hirado Island in [[Hizen province]].
==Territory==
The domain's territory included portions of Hizen province on mainland [[Kyushu]] as well as [[Iki Island|Iki]] and some other islands, with a total ''[[kokudaka]]'' for much of the period of 61,500 ''[[koku]]''.<ref name=fukai/> Though the Matsura controlled all of [[Iki province]], they were not considered ''[[kunimochi]]'' ("province-holding") ''daimyô''.<ref>Mark Ravina, ''Land and Lordship in Early Modern Japan'', Stanford University Press (1999), 20.</ref>
==History==
For a short few decades at the beginning of the 17th century, Hirado was one of the chief centers of international (particularly Western) activity in Japan. The [[Dutch East India Company]] established a factory in Hirado in [[1609]], maintaining it until forced by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to relocate to [[Dejima|Nagasaki]] in [[1641]], and the [[English East India Company]] similarly maintained a factory at Hirado from [[1613]] to [[1623]]. Both paled in comparison, however, to the number of men, number of ships, and amount of goods traded by Chinese merchants, led for some time by [[red seal ship]] trader [[Li Dan]] and then beginning in [[1625]] by [[Zheng Zhilong]].
==Castle==
[[Hirado castle]], initially known as Hinotake castle, was completed in [[1599]] but burned down in [[1609]], and was not rebuilt until [[1704]]-[[1718]]. For the roughly one hundred years in between, the Matsura ruled from a mansion to the north of Hirado harbor. With the permission of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], they rebuilt the castle and made it their home and center of governance for the remainder of the Edo period. They then tore down the castle following the [[Meiji Restoration]], and in [[1893]] built a new mansion on the location of the former, 17th century, one. This is today the site of the [[Matsura Historical Museum]].
