The province of Bizen (備前国, Bizen kuni ) is a old province Japan which constitutes the south-eastern part of current the Préfecture of Okayama. It was located on Honshū at the edge of the Inland sea of Seto and was bordered by the provinces of Mimasaka, Harima, and Bitchū.
The original center of Bizen is the current town of Okayama. For one moved back time, Bizen has been one of the principal centers of manufacture of sabers of the Japan. During the Period Muromachi, Bizen was directed by the Clan Akamatsu of Mimasaka, but with the Period Sengoku the Clan Urakami had become dominating and had settled in Okayama. They were supplanted later by the Clan Ukita, and Hideie Ukita was one of the regents that Hideyoshi Toyotomi indicated for his/her son. After Hideyaki Koboyakawa had helped Ieyasu Tokugawa to gain the Bataille of Sekigahara on Ukita and the others, it was rewarded by receiving the fields for Ukita with Bizen and Mimasaka.
Bizen changed many times of hands during the Edo period before being built-in the current system of prefectures.
The Clan Matsuda had possessions in the province and has to join battle with the clans Urakami and Akamatsu.
