[edit] I removed the paragraph
In the meantime, Japan annexed the Ryukyu kingdom (now Okinawa). This is called "Entering Okinawa" (Okinawa-Iri). However, as early as 1609 AD, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus (Okinawa) had already been conquered and made a vassal of the powerful Shimadzu clan (Japanese: しまづし 島津氏) of the Satsuma domain in southern Kyushu. Besides being subordinated to the Shimadzu, Okinawans of the late feudal era had simultaneously paid tribute to the Manchu rulers of the Qing Dynasty of China.
This doesn't seem to pertain to the abolition of the han or the establishment of the ken. Also, the events in the Ryukyus did not occur during the time span of the haihan chiken ("the meantime"). Can anyone find a home for this text? Fg2 07:14, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
