Kawagoe Domain

 was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan. It is located in Musashi Province, Honshū. The domain was centered at Kawagoe Castle, located in what is the city of Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture.
History.
The domain had its beginning in 1590, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated the later Hōjō clan in the Siege of Odawara. Hideyoshi awarded vast Hōjō holdings to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who enfeoffed Sakai Shigetada as "daimyō" of Kawagoe with a assessed "kokudaka" of 10,000 "koku". Shigetada was transferred in 1601, and the next daimyō was appointed in 1609.
Afterwards, the domain was reassigned every couple of generations to a large number of fudai daimyō clans, spending the longest time under the control of a branch of the Echizen Matsudaira clan (1767–1867) with a rating of 170,000 "koku".
The final "daimyō" of Kawagoe, Matsudaira Yasutoshi, served as domain governor until 1871, and was awarded the title of "shishaku" (marquis) under the "kazoku" peerage system. Kawagoe Domain subsequently became part of Saitama Prefecture.
Bakumatsu period holdings.
As with most domains in the han system, Kawagoe Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned "kokudaka", based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.
