Tamazukuri fence - Tamazukuri fence

Japanese: 玉造柵 - たまつくりのさく

An ancient fortress in Mutsu Province. Also called "Tamatsukuri no Ki," it is written as Tamatsukuri Castle and Tamatsukuri Fortress. Tamatsukuri Castle was first seen in 737, and along with Taga Castle to the south and Isawa Castle to the north, it played an important role in the Ritsuryo government's management of Oshu and Uzen. In 780, the expeditionary forces heading to the east to quell the Iji Ikamaro Rebellion were ordered to enter Tamatsukuri Castle and other castles to strengthen their defenses and plan their tactics (Shoku Nihongi). In 789, Tamatsukuri Fortress became a logistics base for the party led by Ki no Kosami, who marched to Koromogawa to subjugate the Emishi, and in 815, 100 soldiers and 200 warriors were stationed there. The Jonosaku ruins in Kami-machi, Miyagi Prefecture were thought to be the most likely remains of a castle fence, but they were also thought to be Shikama fence or Kamigunga, and the Myodate ruins in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, are also thought to be the remains of Tamatsukuri fence or Tamatsukurigunga, so it is not clear.

陸奥国に置かれた古代城柵(じょうさく)。〈たまつくりのき〉ともいい，玉作城・玉造塞と記される。737年に〈玉城〉柵がみえ，当地より南の多賀城，北の胆沢(いさわ)城などとともに律令政府の奥羽経営にとって重要な役割を果たした。780年には伊治呰麻呂の乱の鎮定に向かった征東軍は〈玉作〉城などに入って防御を固め，戦術を練るように指令を受けている（《続日本紀》）。789年〈玉造塞〉は蝦夷を征討するため衣川(ころもがわ)まで進軍した紀古佐美の一行の兵站(へいたん)基地となっており，815年には兵士(ひょうじ)100人・健士200人が配されている。城柵跡は宮城県加美町の城生柵(じょうのさく)遺跡が有力とされていたが，色麻(しかま)柵とも，加美郡衙(かみぐんが)ともされ，同県大崎市の名生館(みょうだて)遺跡もまた玉造柵または玉造郡衙の遺構とされ，明らかではない。
