	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Satsuma han
		The Satsuma domain (Satsuma Han 薩摩藩) of Kagoshima, led by the daimyo of the Shimazu family was a major factor in the Meiji Restoration and in the Meiji period government.
		The Shimazu family controlled Satsuma province for roughly four centuries prior to the beginning of the Edo period and the establishment of the han, and towards the end of the 16th century, controlled nearly all of Kyûshû.
		Satsuma was granted an exception to the shogunate's limit of one castle per domain, a policy which was meant to restrict the military strength of the domains; the Shimazu then formed sub-fiefs within their domain, and doled out castles to their vassals, administering the domain in a manner not unlike a mini-shogunate.

		He was assassinated in 1878 by six Satsuma clansmen seeking revenge for his “betrayal” of Saigo.
