In the han system, Mori was a political and economic abstraction based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.[2] In other words, the domain was defined in terms of kokudaka, not land area.[3] This was different from the feudalism of the West.

The domain was ruled for the entirety of its history by a branch of the Matsudaira clan of Fukui.
