Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OKI , a group of islands belonging to Japan, lying due north of the province of Izumo, at the intersection of 36 N. and 133 E. The group consists of one large
island
  called Dogo, and three smaller islesChiburi-shima, Nishi-no-shima, and Naka-noshimawhich are collectively known as Dozen. These four islands have a
coast
 -line of 182 m., an area of 130 sq. m., and a
population
  of 63,000. The
island
  of Dogo has two high peaks, Daimanji-mine (2185 ft.) and Omine-
yama
  (2128 ft.). The
chief
  town is Saigo in Dogo, distant about 40 M. from the port of
Sakai
  in Izumo. The name Oki-no-shima signifies " islands in the offing," and the place is celebrated in Japanese history not only because the possession of the islands was much disputed in feudal days, but also because an ex-emperor and an emperor were banished thither by the Hojo regents in the 13th
century
 .
