The clans to whom such land was entrusted were limited to Shinpan (clans whose lords were a relative of the shogun family), fudai-daimyo (whose family was a retainer of the Tokugawa family from before the Battle of Sekigahara), and fairly large clans of tozama daimyo (nonhereditary feudal lord), such as Kanazawa and Anotsu, who were deeply trusted by the bakufu.
また、預けられた藩も親藩・譜代大名や金沢藩・安濃津藩などの幕府の信頼が厚い外様大名の大藩に限られていた。
