The Kinshi-roku kuzure incident was a dispute over policy within [[Satsuma han|Satsuma domain]] which ended with [[Shimazu Shigehide]] forcing [[Shimazu Narinobu]] to abdicate in favor of [[Shimazu Narioki]], and forcing some 50-100 officials to either be expelled from office or to commit suicide.
    
[[Shimazu Narinobu]] became lord of Satsuma in [[1787]], but due to the various progressive and development projects of his predecessor, [[Shimazu Shigehide]], the domain was on the verge of a dire financial situation. In [[1807]], Narinobu joined a group known as the ''Kinshiroku-ha'', which compiled a volume known as ''Kinshiroku'' (lit. "Record of Recent Thought"), and which encouraged active political action. Operating in accordance with the political thought of this group, Narinobu appointed ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Kabayama Chikara]] and [[Chichibu Taro|Chichibu Tarô]] to oversee an austerity program, and revoked a great number of Shigehide's programs and reforms, with the aim of improving the domain's financial situation. Shigehide, terribly angered by this, ordered Kabayama, Chichibu, and some 50-100 other domain officials to either be exiled, to take the [[tonsure]] (enter a monastery, retiring from public/official life), or to commit ''[[seppuku]]''. Shigehide also worked to force Narinobu to step down, abdicating his position as lord of the domain in favor of his son, [[Shimazu Narioki]].
