*''Japanese'': 加世田 ''(Kaseda)''
Kaseda was a city on the western coast of [[Satsuma province]], which today is part of the larger city of [[Minamisatsuma]]. Located roughly 45 km from [[Kagoshima]], the city included Fukiage-hama (Fukiage Shore), which faces the [[Koshiki Islands]] and the [[East China Sea]].
The city was a notable site in both the [[Sengoku period|Sengoku]] and [[Edo period]]s, the site of [[Shimazu Tadakuni|Shimazu Tadakuni's]] retirement in the mid-15th century, and of [[Kaseda castle]], which served for a time as the seat of the Sôshû branch of the [[Shimazu clan]], and became the site of the [[1539]] [[battle of Kaseda]].
In the Edo period, it was one of a handful of places within [[Satsuma han]] where Chinese-language interpreters were stationed, serving both commercial purposes, and to help in case of Chinese castaways or shipwrecks.<ref>Ono Masako, Tomita Chinatsu, Kanna Keiko, Taguchi Kei, "Shiryô shôkai Kishi Akimasa bunko Satsuyû kikô," ''Shiryôhenshûshitsu kiyô'' 31 (2006), 244.</ref>
