Ichizokuza - Family seat

Japanese: 一族座 - いちぞくざ
Ichizokuza - Family seat


[name]
Miyaza has the same roots as the establishment of za in commerce, industry, and the performing arts from ancient times to the Middle Ages, but later came to be understood as a seat in a shrine. Folk words meaning miyaza include festival za, head za, clan za, zashu, miyashu, miyako, shinjiko, keshu, za kabu, miyamochi, miya nakama, jigan, shajinshu, miyagumi, za nakama, head kabu, matsuri nakama, miyasuji, horikabu, and moroto. Currently, miyaza are found mainly in the Kinki region, from Echizen/Wakasa (Fukui Prefecture), Mino (Gifu Prefecture), Iga/Ise (Mie Prefecture) to Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kitakyushu in the west, but there are not many examples in eastern Japan.
