Shionomisaki meeting - Shionomisaki meeting

Japanese: 潮岬会合 - しおのみさきかいごう

A meeting was held at Misaki Shrine by the local fishing villagers of Shionomisaki, Wakayama Prefecture, to decide on fishing regulations and pledge to abide by them. The establishment of the meeting can be traced back to the Nanboku-cho period, but it was in the Kan'ei period (1624-44) that it was clarified in the form of written regulations. The outline and content of the regulations did not change significantly throughout the early modern period, and even after the Meiji Restoration, they were inherited by the Shionomisaki Fisheries Association after being reorganized based on proclamations, ministerial ordinances, and the old Fisheries Law. A total of 18 villages participated in the meeting, including Uenoura, Izumoura, and Kushimotoura in Nishimuro County, 12 villages from Arita to Susami, and 6 villages from Oshima to Shimotawara in Higashimuro County.

和歌山県潮岬の近隣漁村民が漁業上の規約を決め，その履行を誓うために御崎神社で行った集会。集会の創設は南北朝期ころまでさかのぼることができるが，成文規約の形で明確化したのは寛永期(1624‐44)である。規約の骨子･内容は近世期を通じて大きな変化はみられず，維新後も布達，省令や旧漁業法に基づく編制を経て，潮岬漁業組合に継承された。会合には西牟婁郡の上野浦･出雲浦･串本浦を触頭に有田～周参見までの12ヵ浦，東牟婁郡の大島～下田原までの6ヵ浦のつごう18ヵ浦が参加した。
