On the Samurai island you can have three Provinces. Which means you'll have three Shoguns. In order to identify people and their clans you can read their last name
Lets say Clan 1 Is the Capital Province...
and all last names between A-H are in that province.
Last names between I-P are in the second province
And the rest are in the thrid province.
So if we have Yi Yoshi (Last name is the first name in Japanise Culture and I suggest the Samurai use it ) then he'll be in the third province.
OR you could have a Roman type Clan system
Hiyoshi Shimoda would be Hiyoshi Kaji Shimoda of (Samurai)

Good idea...or perhaps, there could be certain family names unique to a certain clan. For example, my char's name is Todosi Mirumoto, and the family name Todosi would be from the clan/province the Iskuguri, from which you could identify my char is from the Iskuguri clan. so my nick would be Todosi Mirumoto of (Samurai), which wouldn't make the names any longer at all.
