Tane Province
Northern Tane Province
Tane Province (多禰国 Tane-no kuni) was an old province of Japan in the area of Kagoshima Prefecture.[1]
History
Kofun burial mounds on Tanegashima and two very old Shinto shrines on Yakushima suggest that these islands were the southern border of the Yamato state.[2]
Annals of the Nara period regard Tane-no-kuni as the name for all the Ryukyu Islands,[3] including Tanegashima[4] and Yakushima.[5]
- 702 (Taihō 2}: The Shoku Nihongi records, "Satsuma and Tane broke the relation and disobey to the king's order. So (the government) sent an army, conquered them, counted the population, and placed the officials." This marks the establishment of the Satsuma and Tane Provinces.
- 824 (Tenchō 1): Tane was annexed to Ōsumi Province.
