Ikura - How much

Japanese: 伊倉 - いくら
Ikura - How much

This is a district in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Formerly Ikura-sho, it was called Nibetsu in ancient times and was a river port on the Tojin River that flourished as a port until the Kikuchi River was re-dug by Kato Kiyomasa (1605). During the Bunroku-Keicho War, it also served as an anchorage for the entry and exit of Korea in Higo (Kumamoto Prefecture). In the early modern period, it served as a rear base for the newly emerging Ohama Port and as a town with artisans (blacksmiths). The town's hustle and bustle continued until the JR Kagoshima Main Line opened (1891) and the transportation system changed. There are Ikura Minami-Kita Hachiman Shrine, built in 1351 (Shohei 6, Kan'o 2), and the grave of the Ming Dynasty's Kaku clan.

熊本県玉名市(たまなす)の一地区。かつての伊倉荘(しょう)で、古代は丹倍津(にべつ)とよばれ、加藤清正(きよまさ)による菊池(きくち)川掘替え工事(1605)まで港として栄えた唐人(とうじん)川筋の河港で、文禄・慶長の役(ぶんろくけいちょうのえき)には肥後(ひご)(熊本県)における朝鮮への出入港泊地にもなった。近世は、新興の大浜港の後方基地として、また職人町(鍛冶(かじ)職人)を有する在町として、JR鹿児島本線が開通(1891)し、その交通体系が変わるまで、町のにぎわいは維持されていた。1351年(正平6・観応2)建立の伊倉南・北八幡宮(はちまんぐう)や明(みん)人郭(かく)氏の墓がある。
