	History of Japanese Satasuma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The ancient Japanese province of Satsuma was in the southern most part of the island of Kyushu.
		By the end of the 18th century, Satsuma production had not included porcelains, and was restricted to the local clays and earthenware of the Chawan (tea bowl). However, in neighboring Arita potters had been making finely enameled porcelain wares for many years, primarily for export.

	The Satsuma Tangerine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Satsuma mandarin may have originated in China but it was first reported in Japan more than 700 years ago where it is now the major cultivar grown.
		The name "satsuma" is credited to the wife of a United States minister to Japan, General Van Valkenberg, who sent trees home in 1878 from Satsuma, the name of a former province, now Kagoshima Prefecture, on the southern tip of Kyushu Island, where it is believed to have originated.
		As a consequence, the satsuma tangerine is ideally adapted to regions with winters too cold for other citrus fruits but with growing seasons warm enough to produce fruit of early maturity and good quality.

		The satrap was the head of the administration of his province, and found himself surrounded by an all-but-royal court; he collected the taxes, controlled the local officials and the subject tribes and cities, and was the supreme judge of the province before whose "chair" (Nehemiah 3:7) every civil and criminal case could be brought.
		He was assisted by a council of Persians, to which also provincials were admitted; and was controlled by a royal secretary and by emissaries of the king, especially the "eye of the king" who made an annual inspection.
		The distribution of the great satrapies was changed occasionally, and often two of them were given to the same man. Whenever central authority in the empire weakened, the satrap often enjoyed practical independence, especially as it became customary to appoint him also as general-in-chief of the army district, contrary to the original rule.
