Province data
In the early Sengoku period, Izumi was contested under Hosokawa rule among various Hatakeyama factions and local samurai, with Miyoshi Nagayoshi eventually gaining ascendancy. The province became a domain of Oda Nobunaga in 1573, and after the Honnō-ji Incident passed to Hashiba Hidenaga's rule under the Toyotomi regime. When Hidenaga's house ended, Izumi became a direct holding of the Toyotomi family, and following the Siege of Osaka, transferred to Tokugawa rule in 1615.
