Satake Yoshimine

Satake Yoshimine (佐竹義峯, October 14, 1690 – September 21, 1749) was the 5th daimyō of Kubota Domain in Dewa Province, Japan (modern-day Akita Prefecture), and then 23rd hereditary chieftain of the Satake clan.

In 1715, he was posthumously adopted by Satake Yoshitada and became daimyō of Kubota.

His position was confirmed in an audience with Shōgun Tokugawa Ietsuna later the same year.

The opposite in personality and temperament from his predecessor, he abolished all sumptuary laws and did his utmost to live a life of profligate luxury, driving the domain and even his retainers into the verge of bankruptcy.

Yoshimine was married to a daughter of Kuroda Nagakiyo of a cadet branch of Fukuoka Domain, and had at least two concubines and four daughters; however, he had no male heir, He attempted to adopt Satake Yoshiaki (1723-1758) of Iwasaki Domain as his successor, but this was strenuously opposed by the clan elders, so he adopted Satake Yoshikata (1692-1742) of Kubota-Shinden Domain instead.
