The Satsuma dictionary, published in [[1869]], was one of the first Japanese-English dictionaries. It was an expansion of the ''Eiwa taiyaku shûchin jisho'' ("English-Japanese Pocket Dictionary") produced by the [[Kaiseijo]] (shogunate school of foreign studies). It was compiled by [[Takahashi Shinkichi]] and [[Maeda Seikoku]], students at the [[Satsuma han]] [[han school]], and published in [[Shanghai]]. The dictionary used [[katakana]] to indicate the pronunciation of English words.
