Editing Settsu Province (section)

==History==
During the [[Sengoku period]], the [[Miyoshi clan]] ruled Settsu and its neighbors, [[Izumi Province|Izumi]] and [[Kawachi Province|Kawachi]], until they were conquered by [[Oda Nobunaga]]. The provinces were ruled subsequently by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. The [[Council of Five Elders|regents]] of Hideyoshi's son soon quarreled, and when [[Ishida Mitsunari]] lost the [[Battle of Sekigahara]], the area was given to relatives of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].  It was from then on divided into several domains, including the [[Asada Domain]].

[[Sumiyoshi taisha]] was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (''[[ichinomiya]]'') for the province.<ref>[http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp/modules/xwords/images/uploads/EOS070712Ab.pdf "Nationwide List of ''Ichinomiya''," p. 3.]; retrieved 2011-08-09</ref>

During the Sengoku period Settsu became the main exporting centre of matchlock firearms to the rest of Japan.

The {{Nihongo|[[Kohama style]]|小浜流|Kohama-ryū}} of [[sake]] brewing was practiced at the {{Nihongo|Kohama-[[Shukuba|juku]]|小浜宿}} in the [[Amagasaki Domain]] of Settsu Province during the [[Edo period]].
