Satake Yoshizumi

Satake Yoshizumi (佐竹義処, October 9, 1637 – August 5, 1703) was the 3rd daimyō of Kubota Domain in Dewa Province, Japan (modern-day Akita Prefecture), and then 21st hereditary chieftain of the Satake clan.

His courtesy title was Ukyō-no-daifu and Jijū, and later raised to Sakon'e-shōshō and his Court rank was Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade.

In 1646, he was presented in formal audience to Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu and confirmed as heir to Kubota Domain.

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.

[1] Satake Yoshizumi was wed to Tsuruhime, the daughter of Matsudaira Naomasa of Matsue Domain, but his only son, Satake Yoshimitsu died in 1699.
