The territory or domain ruled by a daimio (a feudal Japanese lord), also called a daimiate or daimyate.
From 'daimio' (Japanese 大名, literally 'big name') combined with the suffix '-ate' indicating a territory or state. Used in historical texts describing Japanese feudalism during the Edo period.
The daimiate system created a unique feudal structure where lords had genuine autonomy over their domains—unlike European feudalism, there was no king at the top, making it more like a network than a pyramid.
