Tōtōmi Province

Tōtōmi (Japanese远 江 国, Tōtōmi no kuni ), also Enshū (远 州), is an old province of Japan in the western part of present-day Shizuoka Prefecture.

Etymology

Tōtōmi is, in the notation (远 江) " distant bay (also in terms of lake ) ." In ancient times, however, it was written as远 淡 海what " further freshwater lake " means and the Lake Hamana says. The term is in contrast to the "near freshwater lake " Lake Biwa in the Province of Ōmi. As a result of a decree in the 8th century, according to provincial names have to consist of 2 characters,远 淡 海was shortened to远 江.
