Oyama

Japanese: 尾山 - おやま
Oyama
From 1583 (Tensho 11) to around 1596 (Keicho 1), this place name was used instead of Kanazawa. After the fall of Kanazawa Mido (the base of the Kaga Ikko Ikki rebellion) in 1580, Sakuma Morimasa, a subordinate of Shibata Katsuie, made the site of the Mido into Kanazawa Castle and resided there until 1583, but when Maeda Toshiie entered Kaga in April of the same year, he used the name Oyama instead of Kanazawa. The reason why Toshiie changed the name to Oyama is unclear, but one theory is that he avoided the name Kanazawa, which is associated with his enemies Kanazawa Mido and Sakuma Morimasa, and used Oyama, which is also associated with his hometown of Owari. After Toshiie's death, Maeda Toshinaga changed the name back to Kanazawa, but the name Oyama was still used and continued to be used in rural areas even after World War II.

Japanese:
1583年(天正11年)から1596年(慶長1年)ごろまで,金沢に代わって用いられた地名。1580年の金沢御堂(加賀一向一揆の拠点)陥落後,柴田勝家配下の佐久間盛政が御堂跡を金沢城とし,1583年まで在城したが,同年4月前田利家が加賀に入部すると,従来の金沢に代えて尾山の称を使用した。利家が尾山に改称した理由は明確でないが,敵対した金沢御堂や佐久間盛政にかかわる金沢の称を避け,出身地尾張にも通じる尾山を用いたのではないかという説がある。利家没後,前田利長によって再び金沢に戻されたが,尾山の称も併用され,第2次大戦後も農村部では使用されていた。
