*''Japanese'': [[名越]] 左源太 ''(Nagoya Sagenta)''
Nagoya Sagenta was a [[Satsuma han]] official who was exiled to [[Amami Oshima|Amami Ôshima]] during the ''Oyura sôdô'', a series of factional disputes between [[Shimazu Narioki]] and [[Shimazu Nariakira]] over domain politics, in which numerous domain retainers and others who backed one faction or the other were exiled or punished otherwise.
During his time on Amami, from roughly [[1850]] to [[1855]], he recorded numerous folk customs and other aspects of life on Amami in an illustrated volume entitled ''[[Nanto zatsuwa|Nantô zatsuwa]]'' (lit. "Various Stories of the Southern Islands"). Sagenta's original copy is believed to no longer survive, but a number of manuscript copies were made; one such copy is today held by the [[University of Tokyo]] Historiographical Institute ([[Shiryôhensanjo]]) as part of the ''[[Shimazu-ke monjo]]'' (Shimazu Family Documents).
