EspañolMIMASAKA_PROVINCE
(Redirected from Mimasaka province)
'Mimasaka' (美作国 ''-no kuni'') or 'Sakushu' (作州 ''sakushū'') was a province of Japan in the part of Honshū that is today northeastern Okayama Prefecture. Mimasaka bordered Bitchu, Bizen, Harima, Hoki, and Inaba Provinces.
Mimasaka was landlocked, and was often ruled by the daimyo in Bizen. The ancient capital and castle town was Tsuyama. During the Edo period the province was controlled by the Tsuyama Domain.
In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the ''Wadō'' era (713), the land of Mimasaka''-no kuni'' was administratively separated from Bizen province. In that same year, Empress Gemmei's ''Daijō-kan'' continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara period.
In ''Wadō'' 6, Tamba province was sundered from Tango province; and Hyūga province was divided from Osumi province.[1] In ''Wadō'' 5 (712), Mutsu province had been severed from Dewa province.[1]
