Onoyama Offerings - Onoyama Offerings

Japanese: 小野山供御人 - おのやまくごにん

The Kugyonin (also known as Ono Kugyonin) were based in Onoyama, Kazuno County, Yamashiro Province. They contributed charcoal and torches to the Imperial Court, and in return for serving as soldiers to guard the Onoyama Nagasakaguchi, they were exempt from various checkpoint and commercial taxes, and sold torches, charcoal, and lumber in the capital. Onoyama belonged to the Tonomoriyo domain and was controlled by the head of the domain, the Otsuki clan, and the Toshiyotomo clan. In the Kamakura period, there were over 70 Kugyonin, including official officials and satanists, and in the Muromachi period, they were divided into five villages of Kami Ono and two villages of Shimo Ono, and the two villages were collectively called Sosho Kugyonin.
