Aizu domain
The Aizu domain was a historical feudal domain in Japan, located in the present-day Fukushima Prefecture. It was established during the Edo period and was ruled by the Matsudaira clan. The domain was known for its strong samurai culture and played a significant role during the Boshin War, which was part of the larger conflict leading to the Meiji Restoration.
Aizu was also notable for its unique traditions, including the famous Aizu lacquerware and the Aizu Wakamatsu castle, which served as the domain's center of power. The region's rich history and cultural heritage continue to attract visitors and scholars interested in Japan's feudal past.
