Sakaide salt fields

Japanese: 坂出塩田 - さかいでえんでん

Records of salt tributes and documents on salt mines and salt pans in the Saidaiji Ryukicho indicate that salt production in the Sakaide region dates back to pre-ancient times. The Hyogo Kitakan Ship Arrival Register from 1445 (Bun'an 2) also indicates that a large amount of Sanuki salt was transported out of the area. Furthermore, during the period of large-scale population movement in the eastern Setouchi region in the early modern period, immigrants from Harima appear to have developed traditional iriyahama salt fields in Sakaide, Marugame and Muya. Early modern reclamation of iriyahama salt fields in Sakaide began with approximately 5 hectares of Gokushohama in 1787 (Tenmei 7).

調塩貢納の記録や《西大寺流記帳》の塩山･塩釜の文書などから，坂出地方における塩生産は古代以前にさかのぼりうる。また1445年(文安2)の《兵庫北関入船納帳》によっても，讃岐塩がかなり搬出されていることがわかる。また近世初頭の東部瀬戸内の大規模な人口移動の時期に，播磨からの移住者が坂出，丸亀や撫養（むや）に古式入浜を開拓したようである。坂出における近世的な入浜塩田の干拓は1787年(天明7)の御供所浜約5haから始まる。
