What is the han?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(feudal_domain)
The Han (&#34281 were the fiefs of feudal clans of Japan that existed during all the Edo period and for a few years after the Meiji Restoration. The number of han varied; typically, there were around 300 han in the Edo period. Most han were led by a daimyo with an assessment of 10,000 koku or more. The daimyo swore loyalty to the shogun. Sometimes a powerful daimyo let a man govern a domain over 10,000 koku. Those men were definitely not daimyo but their domains were sometimes called han.

The richest han was the Kaga han with 1 millon koku. It was situated in Kaga, Etchu and Noto Provinces.

In July, 1871, all the han were disbanded in favor of the formation of prefectures.

Japanese Imperialism may have been instilled into Okinawa's people, therefore, they have their own translation or interpretation?
