Date Munekatsu
was a Japanese ''daimyō'' of Ichinoseki Domain in early-Edo period Japan. His courtesy title was ''Hyōbu-no-daisuke'', and his Court rank was Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade. Munekatsu was the 10th son of Date Masamune. He appears in history in 1658, following the death of Date Tadamune, the second ''daimyō'' of Sendai Domain. Sendai Domain was inherited by the young and impressionable Date Tsunamune, and the clan elders appointed Munekatsu and his half-brother, Tamura Muneyoshi as guardians. Munekatsu’s daughter-in-law was the daughter of ''Tairō'' Sakai Tadakiyo. Through these connections, the Munekatsu and Tamura Muneyoshi accused Tsunamune of drunkenness and debauchery, who then removed from office for misrule and was confined to a secondary clan residence in Edo. The infant Date Tsunamura was made ''daimyō'' of Sendai under the guardianship of his uncles, and Date Munekatsu was also granted a fief of 30,000 ''koku'' in Ichinoseki as a subsidiary feudal han to Senda ...

Koku
The is a Chinese-based Japanese unit of volume. 1 koku is equivalent to 10 or approximately , or about . It converts, in turn, to 100 shō and 1000 gō. One ''gō'' is the volume of the "rice cup", the plastic measuring cup that is supplied with commercial Japanese rice cookers. The ''koku'' in Japan was typically used as a dry measure. The amount of rice production measured in ''koku'' was the metric by which the magnitude of a feudal domain (''han'') was evaluated. A feudal lord was only considered ''daimyō'' class when his domain amounted to at least 10,000 ''koku''. As a rule of thumb, one ''koku'' was considered a sufficient quantity of rice to feed one person for one year. The Chinese equivalent or cognate unit for capacity is the ''shi'' or ''dan'' ( also known as ''hu'' (), now approximately 103 litres but historically about . Chinese equivalent The Chinese ''shi'' or ''dan'' is equal to 10 ''dou'' () " pecks", 100 ''sheng'' () "pints". While the current ''shi' ...

Kokura Domain
, also known as or then , was a Japanese domain of the Edo period. It was associated with Buzen Province in modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. In the han system, Kokura was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields. In other words, the domain was defined in terms of '' kokudaka'', not land area.Elison, George and Bardwell L. Smith (1987)''Warlords, Artists, & Commoners: Japan in the Sixteenth Century,'' p. 18 This was different from the feudalism of the West.

Date Sōdō
The Date Sōdō (伊達騒動), or Date Disturbance, was a noble family dispute within the Date samurai clan, which occurred in 1671. History In 1660, the ''daimyō'' (feudal lord) of the Sendai Domain, and clan head, Date Tsunamune was arrested in Edo, for drunkenness and debauchery. The charges are generally believed to have been true, but the arrest was probably encouraged heavily by certain vassals and kinsmen in the north. These vassals and kinsmen appealed to the Council of Elders in Edo that Tsunamune was not fit to rule, and that his son Date Tsunamura, great-grandson of Masamune, should become the ''daimyō''. Thus, Tsunamura became ''daimyō'', under the guardianship of his uncles, Date Munekatsu and Muneyoshi. Ten years of violence and conflict followed in the domain, reaching a climax in 1671 when Aki Muneshige, a powerful relative of the Date, complained to the shogunate of the mismanagement of the fief under Tsunamura and his uncles.
