Kurume Domain (久留米藩, Kurume-han) was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Chikugo Province in modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu.

In the han system, Kurume was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[1] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[2] This was different from the feudalism of the West.

List of daimyōs

The hereditary daimyōs were head of the clan and head of the domain. At Kurume, the Tokugawa shōguns granted 210,000 koku to the Arima clan from 1620 to 1868.[3]
