Shima Province, Historical province in southeastern Mie Prefecture, Japan
The province occupied a peninsula bordered by Ise Province to the west and Ise Bay on the north, east, and south sides.
During the Nara period, provincial governors supplied annual gifts of fish and abalone to the Emperor as part of their administrative responsibilities.
The Izawa-no-miya shrine, part of the Ise Grand Shrine complex, functioned as the principal religious center of Shima Province.
The provincial administration received tax revenues from rice lands in neighboring Ise, Mikawa, and Owari provinces due to limited arable territory.
The Kuki clan, who controlled the province from Toba Castle, started as pirates in Ise Bay before rising to prominence as regional rulers.
