Abstract
International Exposition in 1867, Satsuma-Ryukyu actually refers to Satsuma domain. Satsuma domain intended to participate as a government of equal status with the Japanese shogunate government, citing the independence of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the East Asian world. But the government of Satsuma-Ryukyu was not real. Satsuma domain, who wanted to push for Japan's "increasing wealth and military power" and interact with Western civilization, was one of the diplomatic strategies using the Ryukyu Kingdom to avoid political interference from Japanese shogunate government. The delegation sent by Satsuma domain impersonated the royal delegation of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and in fact, the royal delegation did not participate. Nevertheless, Satsuma domain's participation in the Paris International Exhibition under the name Satsuma-Ryukyu does not mean that he freely controlled the Kingdom of Ryukyu. As can be seen in the Concealment Policy and the 'Makishi-Onga Incident', It can be seen that Ryukyu has been trying to exist as an independent kingdom in the East Asian world, balancing politics with a certain distance from Satsuma domain. However, by using the title "Satsuma-Ryukyu," it remains unchanged that Ryukyu exists internationally as an independent kingdom in the East Asian world. Although the political ties between Satsuma domain and the Kingdom of Ryukyu were ostensibly revealed, Although the political ties between Satsuma domain and the Kingdom of Ryukyu were ostensibly revealed, Satsuma domain is essentially meaningful in that he is clearly drawing a line between Ryukyu and Japan, formalizing that the Kingdom of Ryukyu is not in a political mainstream relationship with the Japanese government. It was also an opportunity to inform the Western world that Ryukyu was politically independent from Japan by Satsuma domain.
