Dachinkashigi - wage earning

Japanese: 駄賃稼 - だちんかせぎ

Carrying luggage or passengers on a horse's back and charging a fee. The activities of horse hirers in Otsu and other places were already known in the Middle Ages, but by the Edo period it had become common in various provinces. Earning a fee for packhorses was popular along roads where side routes and other inns were not well developed, but packhorse fare earning for the transport of goods was also seen among the relay cargo handled at the inns along the Five Highways. Also, in riverside areas where boat transport was available, and in Tsuminato, a hub for maritime traffic, there was active pack transport connecting the inland areas by land. In the Meiji and Taisho periods, people earned a fee at train stations using packhorses and wagons. → Nakauma/denma → Related items Sakuma-gaku

馬背に荷物や客を乗せて賃銭をとること。中世にはすでに大津などの馬借(ばしゃく)らの活動が知られるが，江戸時代には諸国で行われるようになった。脇往還など宿継ぎが充分整備されていない街道筋では駄馬賃稼ぎが盛んであったが，商品輸送のための駄賃稼ぎは五街道の宿駅で扱う継ぎ送り荷のなかにもみられた。また舟運のある河岸(かし)や，海上交通の拠点となる津湊などでは，陸路をもって内陸部と結ぶ駄送が活発であった。明治・大正期には停車場で駄馬や荷馬車による賃稼ぎが行われていた。→中馬／伝馬
