Tenryo
As Tenryō ( jap. 天領 , dt about. "Imperial possession". See Krongut ) was during the time Meiji designated land that formerly owned directly by the Tokugawa shogunate was, was so rich immediately and not as a fief ( han ) was given to a daimyo . This land fell to the Tennō in 1868 during the Boshin War at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration . The more common term for this land for the Edo period is Bakufuryō ( 幕府 領 ) and Bakuryō ( 幕 領 ), both of which means “ Bakufu possession”, or (Bakufu) chokkatsuryō ( (幕府) 直轄 領 ), “immediate possession (of Bakufu) ”. The Hatamoto fiefdoms were in the Tenryō.
The Tokugawa family owned the largest estates during the Edo period , with an annual income of around four million koku in the 17th century . The most powerful daimyō family, the Maeda with the Kaga fiefdom , “only” had one million koku. The Tenryō formed the financial foundation of the shogunate with important cities such as Osaka and Nagasaki , the gold and silver mines of Sado and other mines. Geographically, Shōgunatsländer focused on the fertile plains of Kanto and Tōkai, together with the allied principalities the Tokugawa controlled also important access routes and geo-strategically important points. The provinces of Kai and Hida were fully owned by the shogunate from 1724 and 1693, respectively.
