Searching for: Mino Province?
Mino (美濃国; -no kuni) is an old province of Japan, which today composes nearly the southern part of Gifu prefecture. Mino bordered on Echizen, Hida, Ise, Mikawa, Omi, Owari, and Shinano provinces.
Although the ancient provincial capital was near Tarui, the main castle
town was at Gifu. Mino was one of the original provinces controlled by
Oda Nobunaga, and his heirs controlled it even after Nobunaga died and
Toyotomi Hideyoshi took power.
The Battle of Sekigahara took place at the western edge
of Mino, near the mountains between the Chuubu region and the Kinki region.
