Iga Province (伊賀国, Iga no kuni?) was an old province of Japan in the area that is today western Mie Prefecture. It was sometimes called Ishū (伊州?). Iga bordered on Ise, Ōmi, Yamato, and Yamashiro Provinces.
Famous quotes containing the word province:
“Female Virtues are of a Domestick turn. The Family is the proper Province for Private Women to Shine in. If they must be showing their Zeal for the Publick, let it not be against those who are perhaps of the same Family, or at least of the same Religion or Nation, but against those who are the open, professed, undoubted Enemies of their Faith, Liberty, and Country.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
