The Zeze Domain (膳所藩, Zeze-han?) was a feudal domain in Japan during the Edo period. It was established by Tokugawa Ieyasu as a reward to Toda Kazuaki, whom he transferred from a 5,000 koku territory in Musashi Province to this 30,000 koku domain in Ōmi Province. The domain government had its headquarters at Zeze Castle in what is now the city of Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture. At its peak, it had a rating of 70,000 koku. It continued throughout the Edo period until the 1871 abolition of the han system.

Famous quotes containing the word domain:
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
