History
Yamaguchi Prefectur wis creatit bi the merger o the provinces o Suō an Nagato. Durin the rise of the samurai cless durin the Heian an Kamakura Periods (794–1333), the Ouchi faimily o Suō Province an the Koto faimily o Nagato Province gained influence as pouerful warrior clans. In the Muromachi Period (1336—1573), Ouchi Hiroyo, the 24t ruler o the Ouchi faimily conquered baith auries o Yamaguchi Prefectur. The Ouchi clan imitatit the ceety plannin o Kyoto. Thay gained great walth throu cultural imports frae the continent an tred wi Korea an Ming Dynasty Cheenae. As a result, Yamaguchi came tae be kent as the "Kyoto o the Wast," an Ouchi cultur flourisht. Sue Harutaka defeatit the 31st ruler o the Ouchi clan. The Sue clan wis then defeatit bi Mōri Motonari, an the Mōri faimily gained control o the Chugoku region. Yamaguchi wis ruled as pairt o the Mōri clan domain durin the Sengoku period. Mōri Terumoto wis then defeatit bi Tokugawa Ieyasu in the battle o Sekigahara in 1600. He wis forcit tae gie up aw his laund except for the Suō an Nagato auries (current-day Yamaguchi Prefectur), whaur he biggit his castle in Hagi. Mōri socht tae strenthen the economic base o the region an increase local production wi his Three Whites campaign (salt, rice, an paper).
Efter Commodore Matthew Perry's openin o Japan, clans frae Nagato (cried Chōshū an aw) played a key role in the faw o the Tokugawa shogunate an the establishment o the new imperial govrenment. Fower years efter the Edo Shogunate wis owerthrown an the Meiji govrenment formit in 1868, the present Yamaguchi Prefectur wis establisht. The Meiji govrenment brocht in mony new seestems an modren policies, an promotit the introduction o modren industrie, tho the prefectur wis still centred aroond agricultur durin this period. In the Taisho period, frae 1912 tae 1926, shipbiggin, chemical, machinerie, an metal wirkin plants wur biggit in Yamaguchi's harbors in the Seto Inland Sea aurie. Durin the post-Warld War II Shōwa Period, Yamaguchi developit intae ane o the maist industrialisit prefecturs in the kintra due tae the establishment o petrochemical complexes.
