Tamba Province
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamba Province (丹波国 Tamba no kuni?) was an old province of Japan that included both the central part of modern Kyoto Prefecture and the east-central part of Hyōgo Prefecture. Tamba bordered on Harima, Ōmi, Settsu, Tajima, Tango, Wakasa, and Yamashiro provinces.
The ancient provincial capital is believed to be in the area of modern Kameoka.

[edit] Historical record
In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the Wadō era (713), the land of Tamba-no kuni was administratively separated from Tango province (丹後国). In that same year, Empress Gemmei's Daijō-kan continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara period.
In Wadō 6, Mimasaka province (美作国) was sundered from Bizen province (備前国); and Hyūga province (日向国) was divided from Osumi province (大隈国).[1] In Wadō 5 (712), Mutsu province (陸奥国) had been severed from Dewa province (出羽国).[2]
After being governed by a succession of minor daimyo, the region was eventually conquered by Oda Nobunaga in the Sengoku period. He assigned the province to one of his generals, Akechi Mitsuhide, who would become the central figure in Nobunaga's assassination in 1582.
