Item 101 of Box-U(Katakana), \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Sashizu\u201d,dated October 1463<\/a><\/p>\n The \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Sashizu\u201d drawing, which was featured in Nos. 26 and 27 in the Stories behind the Hyakugo Archives, was exhibited at the Kyoto Prefectural Library and Archives, in a special exhibition titled \u201c400th Anniversary of Excavation of the Takasegawa River: Takasegawa and Water Transportation in Kyoto\u201d. You may have a question whether it was appropriate to exhibit materials concerning the Kanzakigawa river, a branch of Yodogawa in Osaka, in an exhibition concerning water transportation in Kyoto. We hope that you will understand that these rivers are connected with each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While we were preparing for this exhibition, an argument occurred among the staff in charge, as to the identity of the boat depicted in this drawing.<\/p>\n Mr. A insisted that it was a ferry boat, while Mr. B thought that the picture itself was not so decisive. Well, what should we write in the explanation to be placed in the exhibition hall? We were pressed for time, and finally Mr. A\u2019s opinion was adopted, and the explanation was written as \u201cA boat with one oar floats on the river.\u201d But the question was not actually answered.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at the rationale for Mr. A\u2019s \u201cferry boat\u201d theory:<\/p>\n The Toji Hyakugo Archives contain volumes titled \u201cNijuikku-kata Hyojo Hikitsuke\u201d. They consist of minutes of meetings (\u201cHyojo\u201d) held by \u201cNijuikku-kata\u201d, which was an in-house organization of Toji monks. An article dated October 13 in the volume for 1463 (Item 36 of Tenchinobu) mentions Taruminosho. It is written in this article, \u201c\u6e21\u8239\u306e\u3053\u3068\u6cbb\u5b9a\u306a\u308a\u3002\u4ed6\u9818\u3068\u5bfa\u9818\u3001\u6bce\u670815\u65e5\u3064\u3064\u6e21\u3059\u306a\u308a\u3002\u4ecd\u3066\u8239\u8cc3\u6bce\u6708\u5eff\u758b\u306a\u308a\u3002\u53ea\u4eca\u306f\u5165\u9053\u3001\u53d6\u306e\u7531\u3001\u7533\u3059\u8005\u306a\u308a\u3002\u305d\u306e\u6bb5\u3001\u62ab\u9732\u3057\u304a\u308f\u3093\u306c\u3002\u201d This reports that an issue concerning ferry boats has been resolved, where Enoki Keitoku, the Daikan (local magistrate) for Taruminosho, had ferry boats travel to and from Juhachigo on the southern bank of the Kanzakigawa river. The focus of the dispute was the days and fares of the ferry boats. Three years before the above article, when he was asked about ferry boats by Kumon of Toji, a person in charge of distributing land tax from Shoen (manors), Enoki Keitoku answered that there were no ferry boats in the estate of Toji (Item 121 of Box-CHI(Katakana)). Therefore, it is considered that Enoki Keitoku and others started the ferry boat service during this period (*1).<\/p>\n So, ferry boats did travel between Juhachigo and Taruminosho in 1463, when said Sashizu was drawn, and Mr. A\u2019s opinion seems reasonable. Let\u2019s listen to Mr. B, then.<\/p>\n In Taruminosho Sashizu are indicated the names of \u201c\u4e57\u5186\u7950X (\u6df1) (Joen Yushin)\u201d and \u201c\u4e57\u89b3\u7950\u6210 (Jokan Yusei)\u201d, as the persons who prepared this drawing. They were dispatched from Toji for undertaking \u201cHamami\u201d of Taruminosho. According to \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Hamami Toricho\u201d, Volume 1 (Item 45 of Box-NU(Hiragana)) and \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Hamami Mokuroku\u201d(Item 16 of Box-WA(Hiragana)), \u201cHamami\u201d signifies an on-site inspection of land.<\/p>\n Therefore, Taruminosho Sashizu is a diagram related to land inspection. The purpose of land inspection in 1463 was to identify increase or decrease in the area, compared to Hamami in 1386. Their primary interest was in farm fields. The Sashizu also mainly indicates the blocks and areas in the estate. In other words, the temples, the shrine, trees as land features, boats as a mode of transportation, and other items were drawn as accessories in the diagram. Next, let\u2019s look at how the boat is drawn. Because a beam is drawn inside the boat, it must have had a certain size. One line is drawn across the boat, indicating not an oar, but a pole, Mr. B insists.<\/p>\n We cannot yet determine whether the picture indicates a ferry boat or not. Let\u2019s listen further to Mr. B\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n The next point is the direction of the boat depicted. It seems that the boat is headed toward the downstream (right side in the Sashizu, in the west) from the upstream (left side in the Sashizu, in the east). So, it cannot be interpreted that this boat is traveling between Juhachigo (upside in the Sashizu, in the south) and Taruminosho (downside in the Sashizu, in the north). The boat is also positioned not on the river between Taruminosho and the Honshima island, but to the south of Honshima, along the mainstream of \u201c\u5927\u6cb3 (Taiga, large river)\u201d. Therefore, this boat is presumed to depict a vessel that traveled in the large river upstream and downstream. Although activities by Enoki Keitoku as the Daikan were worth attention, it is difficult to consider that the influence of his activities went as far as affecting the Ezu (pictorial diagram), Mr. B asserts. This explanation is rather complicated, but convincing to a certain degree.<\/p>\n What is your determination? Do you support Mr. A, Mr. B, or still another view? Ezus are exciting materials that can be interpreted in many different ways.<\/p>\n *1 Hori, Yoshitake. \u201cKanjin and Development by Enoki Keitoku\u201d, Vol. 4, Part 49, Bulletin of the Graduate Division of Literature of Waseda University, 2004.<\/p>\n (Otsuka, Materials Section, the Kyoto Institute Library and Archives)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Item 101 of Box-U(Katakana), \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Sashizu\u201d,dated October 1463 The \u201cSettsunokuni Taruminosho Sashizu\u201d drawing, which was featured in Nos. 26 and 27 in the Stories behind the Hyakugo Archives, was exhibited at the Kyoto Prefectural Library and Archives, in a special exhibition titled \u201c400th Anniversary of Excavation of the Takasegawa River: Takasegawa and Water Transportation … Continue reading Identity of the boat depicted in the Taruminosho Sashizu drawing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=282"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1059,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions\/1059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hyakugo.pref.kyoto.lg.jp\/eng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"\/wordpress_eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/boat_01-300x181.jpg\")
