Satake Yoshizumi was the younger son of
Satake Yoshitaka. In 1646, he was presented in formal audience to
Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu and confirmed as heir to Kubota Domain. he became
daimyō on his father's retirement in 1672. In 1701, he divided 20,000
koku of the domain as a fief for his brother, Satake Yoshinaga, and another 10,000
koku for his nephew,
Satake Yoshikuni, creating two sub-domains:
Iwasaki Domain and
Kubota-Shinden Domain. Kubota-Shinden Domain was reabsorbed back into Kubota Domain in 1732, but Iwasaki Domain lasted until the
Meiji restoration as a cadet house of the Satake clan. In 1703, Satake Yoshizumi died at
Yokote Castle. It was said that he often forgot the eat or sleep, and sometimes vomited blood, as he worked tirelessly for the benefit of the domain. Satake Yoshizumi was wed to Tsuruhime, the daughter of
Matsudaira Naomasa of
Matsue Domain, but his only son, Satake Yoshimitsu died in 1699. His second son had been adopted by the
Sōma clan and was now
Sōma Nobutane, daimyo of
Sōma Domain, so Kubota Domain was inherited by his third son by a concubine,
Satake Yoshitada. ==See also==
