History
Administrative center: Kushima Castle, Kushima City of Sonogi County [1] (the modern city of Omura , Nagasaki Prefecture).
Khan's income: 27,900 koku rice
The Principality was ruled by the Omura clan, which belonged to the tozama daimyo and had the status of the ruler of the castle (城主). The heads of the clan had the right to be present in the Shogun 's willow hall.
The Omura clan was descended from the military leader Fujiwara no Sumitomo (d. 941 ). Omura Tadazumi, the 8th descendant of Fujiwara no Sumitomo, was the first to accept the name Omura by the name of his castle and domain . Omura Sumitada (1532-1587), became the first Japanese daimyo to adopt Christianity . Sumitada opened the port of Nagasaki to the Portuguese and sponsored its development. In 1587, the Japanese ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi undertook a campaign of conquest on the island of Kyushu . Omura Sumitada was forced to submit to the supreme power of Toyotomi Hideyoshi , who retained the first of his tribal possessions. However, the port of Nagasaki was confiscated from the Jesuits and came under the direct control of the Toyotomi administration. His son, Omura Yoshiaki (1568-1615), participated in the Battle of Sekigahar on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu , but is forced to abandon his domain in favor of his son, Omura Sumiyori ( 1592 - 1619 ). Sumiyori was baptized like his father and grandfather, but after the promulgation of decrees prohibiting Christianity in Japan, he began to persecute Christians in his possessions. The Omura clan was trusted by the Tokugawa Shogunate and owned the clan domain until the Meiji Restoration .
The last daimyo , Omura Sumihiro (1831–1882), was originally a supporter of the Tokugawa government and was appointed governor of Nagasaki in 1862 . However, in 1864, he sided with Sonno Joi , joined the Satto Alliance, and participated in the Bosin War .
His son, Omura Sumio (1851-1934), in 1884 was elevated to the rank of viscount (boobs) in the kazoku system , and in 1891 became a count (hakusyaku).
In 1871, after the administrative-political reform, Omura-khan was liquidated. The territory of the principality was incorporated into Nagasaki Prefecture.
