The Obama Domain (小浜藩, Obama-han?) was a Japanese domain in the Edo period. It is associated with Wakasa Province in modern-day Fukui Prefecture on the island of Honshu.
In the han system, Obama was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields. In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area. This was different than the feudalism of the West.

Famous quotes containing the word domain:
“While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
