Province data
Throughout the Sengoku period, Chikuzen was contested by the Ōuchi, Shōni, and Ōtomo clans as well as local samurai, with the Mōri clan's interventions frequently causing defections even during Ōtomo ascendancy. Following Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of Kyushu in 1587, the province transitioned from Ōtomo rule to Toyotomi administration under Kobayakawa Takakage. During the Battle of Sekigahara, Kobayakawa Hideaki at Najima Castle defected to the Eastern forces; after the battle, Kuroda Nagamasa received the province and the Kuroda clan's rule began.
