Takahagi Shinjuku

Japanese: 高萩新宿 - たかはぎしんじゅく

The name of a place in Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture. During the Sengoku period, the area was called Takahagi-go. In 1583, the Hojo clan issued a letter of seal entitled "Regular Market Laws" to Takahagi Shinjuku. A new town was established as a result of the development of Takahagi-go, and this was designated Shinjuku. The opening of six monthly markets on February 2nd and 7th was permitted, and three laws were established regarding the market, granting it the privilege of being a free market. In the Edo period, the six monthly markets declined, and the market was held only twice a year on July 12th and December 27th, and was abolished in the mid-Edo period.

埼玉県日高市の地名。戦国期には一帯は高萩郷とよばれた。1583年，北条氏から〈定市之法度〉と題する印判状が高萩新宿宛てに出された。高萩郷の開発によって新たに町立てされ，そこが新宿と定められたのである。２・７の六斎市の開設が許され，また３ヵ条からなる市の法度が定められており，楽市としての特権が認められた。江戸時代に入り六斎市は衰退，市は７月12日と12月27日の年２回のみとなり，それも江戸中期以降は廃絶。
