Sanbei Ikki - Sanhe Iikki

Japanese: 三閉伊一揆 - さんへいいっき

A peasant uprising occurred in Morioka Domain during the Edo Period. In the Sanhei-Ichi area (an area along the Pacific coast), where commerce and industry flourished in the late Edo Period, several thousand farmers and fishermen rose up in revolt in 1847 in response to the Domain's strengthening of the monopoly system and the imposition of temporary government taxes. They appealed to Tono, where the Domain's senior vassals were located, and their demands were meted out to the Domain. However, the Domain did not comply with their demands and punished them. In 1853, more than 10,000 people rose up in revolt again, fleeing to the Sendai Domain and protesting the government's misrule. As a result of negotiations that lasted six months, many of their demands were meted out, including the abolition of new taxes and distribution controls, and they also obtained a promise not to punish the revolt leaders.

江戸時代，盛岡藩で起きた百姓一揆。江戸時代後期に商工業が盛んになった三閉伊通（太平洋沿岸の一帯）では，藩が専売制を強化し，臨時に御用金を課したことに対して，1847年に農民・漁民１万数千人が蜂起，藩の重臣のいる遠野(とおの)に強訴し，要求を認めさせた。しかし藩はこれを履行せず，処罰を行った。1853年に再び１万人余が一揆を起こし，仙台領内に逃散(ちょうさん)して非政を訴えている。その半年に及ぶ交渉の結果，新たな課税や流通の統制の廃止など多くの要求が通り，また一揆の指導者を処罰しないことも約束させている。
