Ugo Province
Ugo Province (羽後国, Ugo-no kuni) is an old province of Japan in the area of Akita Prefecture on the island of Honshū.[1] and some parts of Yamagata Prefecture.[2] Along with Uzen Province, it was sometimes called Ushū (羽州).[3] The history of the province started in 1868 and ended in 1872.
History[change | change source]
During the Edo period and early Meiji period, the Satake clan were daimyo in the area.[4]
In the Meiji period, the provinces of Japan were converted into prefectures. Maps of Japan and Ugo Province were reformed in the 1870s.[5]
