The short-lived Kokura Prefecture (小倉県, Kokura-ken) of Japan was founded in December 1871 after the clan system was abolished earlier that year. It was made up of three separate han territories (Chizuka, Kokura and Nakatsu) which were, each for a short while in 1871 themselves, called 'prefectures'.
