Earth Uprising

Japanese: 土一揆 - つちいっき

Also called "doikki." In the Muromachi period, peasants demanded reductions in taxes and public duties and virtuous government, and launched armed uprisings against the ruling powers, such as manor lords, shugo, and loan sharks such as sake merchants and doso. There were frequent uprisings such as the bashaku ikki, which was participated in by many bashaku (traffic workers), and the tokusei ikki, which demanded virtuous government. The leadership was mainly made up of local samurai and myoshu (village headmen) within the manors. As the myoshu class became smaller lords, the uprisings almost ceased in the 16th century, except for the Ikko ikki, which fought against the feudal lords' control over their territories. The main ones are the Shocho peasant uprising (Tokusei peasant uprising), the Harima peasant uprising, and the Kakitsu peasant uprising (Tokusei peasant uprising). → Uprising → Related topics Obe-sho｜Kansho famine｜Prohibition｜Kokushu｜Village system｜So｜Chikacho-kyoki｜Peasant uprising

〈どいっき〉とも。室町時代，農民が年貢・公事(くじ)の減免や徳政を要求して，荘園領主，守護，酒屋・土倉(どそう)といった高利貸資本などの支配者勢力に対して行った武装蜂起(ほうき)。交通労働者である馬借(ばしゃく)が多数参加した馬借一揆，また徳政の要求を掲げた徳政一揆などがしきりにおこった。おもに荘園村落内の地侍(じざむらい)・名主(みょうしゅ)が指導層を形成。名主層の小領主化に伴い，16世紀には戦国大名の領国支配と戦った一向(いっこう)一揆を除いてほぼ終息した。おもなものとして正長(しょうちょう)の土一揆（徳政一揆），播磨(はりま)の土一揆，嘉吉(かきつ)の土一揆（徳政一揆）などが知られる。→一揆
