Shakushain's Battle - Shakushain's Battle

Japanese: シャクシャインの戦 - シャクシャインのたたかい

The largest Ainu uprising in modern times occurred in 1669 against the rule of the Matsumae clan. During a dispute over fishing and hunting territories between the Hae Ainu and Shibuchari Ainu of eastern and western Ezo, the latter's chief Shakushain issued an anti-Japanese (Shamo) and anti-Matsumae clan rally to the Ainu of both eastern and western Ezo. The Ainu of Shiranuka in the east and Mashike in the west rose up in unison (the Ishikari Ainu did not participate), attacking Japanese merchant ships and Takamachi. The shogunate was deeply shocked and exercised its command authority, ordering Matsumae Yasuhiro (a hatamoto), a member of the Matsumae clan, and the Tsugaru Hirosaki clan to send in troops. In October 1669, Shakushain was assassinated by a cunning plot by the Matsumae army, and the uprising was finally put down in 1671. The root causes of this uprising were the establishment of the Matsumae Domain by the Wajin, who had established control over the southwestern part of Ezo (present-day southern Hokkaido), and the harsh exploitation of the Ainu and the destruction of their fishing and hunting grounds during the establishment of the domain and the development of its government. → Battle of Koshamain → Related topics Commercial area | Battle of Kunashiri and Menashi

1669年松前藩支配に抵抗して起きたアイヌの近世最大の蜂起。東西両蝦夷地(えぞち)のハエ・アイヌとシブチャリ・アイヌ間の漁猟圏をめぐる争いの過程で，後者の首長シャクシャインが東西両蝦夷地のアイヌに反和人（シャモ）・反松前藩の檄をとばし，東は白糠(しらぬか)，西は増毛(ましけ)のアイヌがいっせいに蜂起（石狩アイヌは不参加），和人の商船や鷹待(たかまち)らを襲撃した。大きな衝撃を受けた幕府は指揮権を発動，松前氏の一族松前泰広（旗本）や津軽弘前藩に出兵を命じた。1669年10月シャクシャインは松前軍の奸計で謀殺され，1671年蜂起は最終的に鎮圧された。この蜂起は松前藩の成立に至る和人の蝦夷地南西部（現在の道南地方）における支配の貫徹，同藩の成立と藩政展開過程でのアイヌに対する過酷な収奪や漁猟場の破壊などが根本原因であった。→コシャマインの戦
