Satsuma Domain
, also known as
Kagoshima Domain
, was a
Japanese
domain
of the
Edo period
. It is associated with the
provinces
of
Satsuma
,
Osumi
and
Hyuga
in modern-day
Kagoshima prefecture
and
Miyazaki prefecture
on the island of
Kyushu
. In the
han system
, Satsuma was a
political
and
economic
abstraction based on periodic
cadastral
surveys and projected agricultural yields. In other words, the domain was defined in terms of
kokudaka
, not land area. This was different from the
feudalism
of the West.
