1. Tsuruoka Domain, also known as Tsuruoka-han, was a Japanese domain of the Edo period, located in Dewa Province. Though it was officially named Tsuruoka, it was commonly known as Shōnai. It was famous for being ruled by one of the great fudai daimyō houses, the Sakai clan. Shōnai achieved great prominence in the late Edo period as a military power. Shōnai had command of the Shinchōgumi, the unit organized for the security of Edo in the 1860s.
