Tanakami Soma

Japanese: 田上杣 - たなかみのそま

A woodcutter in Kurita County, Omi Province. Currently in the southern part of Otsu City. At the end of the 7th century, cypress from Mt. Tagami was floated down the Kizu River via the Seta River and Uji River to be used for the construction of Fujiwara-kyo. The Man'yoshu states, "The cypress of Mt. Tagami, from the robbery of Tankai, floats in the Yasouji River of warriors, like a floating seaweed." Miscellaneous materials and cypress bark from Mt. Tagami were also supplied for the expansion and reconstruction of Ishiyama-dera Temple in 762. The work base was called the Tagamiyama Sakusho, and felling was carried out by two supervisors, two specialist craftsmen, one ironworker, three hired craftsmen, six samasa craftsmen, and ten servants (Shosoin documents). Also, even at that time, there were woodcutters who made craft items such as miscellaneous tableware and hemp chests, and the Tagami wheelworker seen in 1253 is thought to have been a wheel-maker (perhaps a potter's wheel driver). During the Kamakura period, it was the domain of the repair (grinding) office, and during the Nanboku-cho period, it appears as "Maki Nakasho woodcutters" or "Tagami Woodcutters Rokkamura" within Tagami Manor, and was the domain of Jozaikoji Temple in Kyoto, but there was a dispute over the boundaries between the land lord Naraha Mitsukiyo and Asakura Shigekiyo, who was thought to be the land lord of Tagami Maki Manor. The annual tax before the Onin War was 200 koku and 10 kanmon.

近江国栗太(くりた)郡にあった杣。現在の大津市南部。７世紀末，田上山の檜を瀬田川・宇治川経由で木津川に流し，藤原京の造営用材としており，《万葉集》では〈淡海の　衣手の　田上山の　真木さく　檜の嬬手(つまで)を　もののふの　八十氏河(やそうじがわ)に　玉藻なす　浮かべ流せれ〉と詠まれている。762年の石山寺の増改築でも田上山からの雑材や檜皮などを供給したが，作業拠点は田上山作所などとよばれ，伐採は領（監督官）２人，司工（専門工人）２人，鉄工１人，雇工３人，様工６人，仕丁10人らによって行われた（正倉院文書）。またこの当時から雑食器・麻笥など工芸品を作る杣人がおり，1253年にみえる田上輪工は車輪を作る工人（轆轤師か）と考えられる。鎌倉期には修理(すり)職領で，南北朝期には田上荘内として〈牧仲庄杣〉または〈田上杣庄六ケ村〉などとみえ，京都常在光寺領であったが，地頭の楢葉満清および田上牧荘の地頭と思われる朝倉繁清と荘境をめぐって相論になっている。応仁の乱の前の年貢は200石・10貫文であった。
