Azumie

Japanese: 安曇江 - あずみえ

An inlet in ancient Naniwa. The name probably comes from the fact that it was the residence of the Azumi clan, Tomonomiyatsuko of Amabe. According to the Shoku Nihongi, Emperor Shomu, who was staying in Naniwa, made a visit to the Azumi River in February 744. There are several theories about the location of the Azumi River, including the Higashiyokobori River flowing through Osaka City, based on the fact that a document from Shiragie-sho in 750 states "East Azumi River, South Horie River," the area near Tenmabashi Bridge on the Yodo River (Kita-ku and Chuo-ku, Osaka City) based on the inscription on the bell of Ansho-ji Temple in Yamashina-ku, Kyoto City, which reads "Watanabe Azumi-ji Temple," the area near Nozaki-cho in Kita-ku based on the fact that the 1886 Osaka survey map shows the place name "Ado-e," and the area near Andoji-cho in Chuo-ku, which is considered to be a transformation of the place name.

古代難波(なにわ)の入江。海部(あまべ)の伴造(とものみやつこ)阿曇(あずみ)氏の居住地であったことによる名称であろう。《続日本紀》によると天平16年（744）２月，難波に滞在中の聖武天皇が安曇江に行幸(ぎょうこう)している。位置は750年の新羅江(しらぎえ)庄の文書に〈東安曇江　南堀江〉とあることから大阪市内を流れる東横堀(ひがしよこぼり)川説，京都市山科区安祥(あんしょう)寺の鐘銘に〈渡辺安曇寺〉とあることから淀川の天満(てんま)橋（大阪市北区・中央区）付近説，1886年の大阪実測図に〈アドエ〉の字名のあることから北区野崎町付近とする説，地名の転化とみて中央区安堂寺町付近とする説などがある。
