Abolition Of The Han System
The Abolition of the Han System and Establishment of the Prefecture System (廃藩置県, haihan-chiken?) was an act, in 1871, of the new Meiji government of the Empire of Japan to replace the traditional feudal domain (han) system and to introduce centralized government authority (Prefectures of Japan). This process marked the culmination of the Meiji Restoration in that all daimyo (feudal lords) were required to return their authority to the Emperor. The process was accomplished in several stages.
