Bizen Province (備前国, Bizen no kuni)
was a province of Japan on the Inland Sea side of Honshū, in what is today the southeastern part of Okayama Prefecture. It was sometimes called Bishū (備州 Bishu), with Bitchū and Bingo Provinces. Bizen borders Mimasaka, Harima, and Bitchū Provinces.
Bizen's original center was in the modern city of Okayama. From an early time Bizen was one of Japan's main centers for sword smithing.
- History
In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the Wadō era (713), the land of Bizen-no kuni was administratively separated from Mimasaka Province (美作国). In that same year, Empress Genmei's Daijō-kan continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara period.
In Wadō 6, Tanba Province (丹波国) was sundered from Tango Province (丹後国); and Hyūga Province (日向国) was divided from Ōsumi Province (大隈国).
In the Muromachi period,
Bizen was ruled by the Akamatsu clan from Mimasaka, but by the Sengoku period the Urakami clan had become dominant and settled in Okayama city. They were later supplanted by the Ukita clan, and Ukita Hideie was one of the regents Toyotomi Hideyoshi appointed for his son. After Kobayakawa Hideaki helped Tokugawa Ieyasu to win the Battle of Sekigahara over Ukita and others, he was granted Ukita's domains in Bizen and Mimasaka.
Bizen passed through a variety of hands during the Edo period before being incorporated into the modern prefecture system.

鳥取の城にすむ桂蔵坊という狐は足が速く殿様が重宝していた。あるとき桂蔵坊が江戸へ密命をいいつかって播磨国にさしかかったとき、百姓が狐のワナに焼きネズミをしかけていた。その場はがまんしたが、帰り道でネズミに手をかけ、ワナにかかってしまった。

地理学者であった古川古松軒 Furukawa Koshoken の話によると、寛政９年（１７９７）に備前国児嶋の榧ヶ原という場所で、豪農が石垣を作らせていると、ある巨石の中から２つの玉が出てきた。その大きい方の玉は白い粉を塗っているように見え、暗室に入れれば文字が見えるほど周囲を照らす夜光の玉というべきものだった。
