Homusubi's Satsuma (Saigo Takamori)

The far south of Kyushu, and the peninsulae of Satsuma and Osumi on either side of the bay of Kinko, may seem like an unlikely part of Japan to be particularly important in the history of the archipelago. It is as far away from Tokyo as Hokkaido is, to the extent that Seoul and Shanghai are both closer to Kagoshima, the region's capital, for a start. But in reality, the course of Japanese history would be very different indeed were it not for this fiercely independent domain.

Sengoku period enthusiasts visiting Kagoshima, ancient capital of the Shimadzu of Satsuma, are sometimes surprised to find that the city's one-time control over all Kyushu in the 1500s is rarely mentioned. Kagoshima is more proud of its pivotal role in bringing about the Meiji Restoration, and in particular, of Saigo Takamori, a hoganbiiki (Japanese-style underdog worship; unlike the British style, those who lose are most revered) hero who first led the charge to fight for the Restoration and then desperately rebelled against what it had become.
