The province was then granted to Yamauchi Kazutoyo. Tosa was a relatively poor province, and lacked a strong castle town even under the Chōsokabe. After Sekigahara, the castle town of Kōchi was established and remains the main city to this day. During the Edo Period the province was controlled by the Tosa Domain. Sakamoto Ryōma of the Bakumatsu era was born in Tosa. Samurai from Tosa were important in the Meiji Restoration of 1868.〔 The Imperial Japanese Navy battleship ''Tosa'', lead ship of its class, was named after the province. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tosa Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
