Katada Mikuriya

...The name of the sea people who mainly engaged in net fishing. In 1090 (Kanji 4), a fisherman from Katada mikuriya (Katata) in Omi Province, Kamomisosha territory, was exempt from the tax of two nets and went as far as the Azumi River to fish. Around 1091, a fisherman from Naganagisa mikuriya in Settsu Province, also in Kamomisosha territory, traveled back to Sanuki Province to pull his nets, and was accused by the governor of Sanuki of disturbing the area under the pretense of being an offering. Naganagisa mikuriya was a mikuriya that invited "underwater fishermen" to live there and also gathered "river fishermen" as offerings. There are also examples such as "Uwa Rokujo Ami" in Iyo Province, and it seems that there were many such fishermen among the offerings in the mikuriya in Kamomisosha territory.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Katatami Mikuriya" is listed below.
