Kano City - Kano City

Japanese: 加納市 - かのうのいち

During the Sengoku period, a free market was established within the grounds of the Shinshu temple Entoku-ji in Kano-go, Atsumi County, Mino Province (present-day Gifu City). The temple town of Entoku-ji (called Josenbo during the Sengoku period) is believed to have been established around the 15th century, and it is believed that the river people of the Kiso River and Nagara River, and the mountain people of the Mino mountain area, who became followers of the Shinshu sect, built the town and settled there. According to the book of rules of Oda Nobunaga, which is held by Entoku-ji, in 1567, immediately after Nobunaga occupied Inabayama Castle (Gifu Castle), he guaranteed the residents of Kano's free movement within his domain, exempted them from borrowing money, borrowing rice, land taxes, and various duties, and prohibited forced purchases, violence, fighting, and arguments, thereby reaffirming the privileges that had been held by the temple's free market. Kano City was a self-governing free market, but its privileges were gradually taken away by the feudal lords' power, and in the early Edo period it was absorbed into Kano Castle and disappeared.

戦国時代，美濃国厚見(あつみ)郡加納郷（現岐阜市）の真宗寺院円徳寺の寺内に成立した楽市場。円徳寺（戦国時代は浄泉坊と称した）の寺内(じない)町の成立は15世紀ころと推測され，真宗門徒となった木曾川・長良川の川の民，美濃山間部の山の民などが自ら町を建設し，定住したものと考えられる。円徳寺が所蔵する織田信長の掟書によれば，1567年信長は稲葉山(いなばやま)城（岐阜城）を占領した直後に，加納の〈楽市場〉に対して住人の領国内における往還の自由を保障し，借銭・借米・地子・諸役を免除，押買(おしがい)・狼藉・喧嘩・口論などを禁止するなど，従来寺内楽市場の保持していた特権を改めて保証している。加納市は，いわば自治的な自由市場であったが，次第にその特権は大名権力によって奪われ，江戸時代初頭には加納城下に吸収されて消滅した。→楽市／楽座／市
