Nutarinoki - Nutarinoki

An ancient castle fortification built near Nuttari in Niigata City. According to the Nihon Shoki, it was built in 647 (the third year of the Taika era) and, in response to Iwafune-no-ki, which was built to the north the following year, it became a base for development and management in northern Echigo. The ruins have not been confirmed at present, but it is thought to have been located at a key point for land and water transportation near the mouth of the Shinano River, and in 658 (the fourth year of the reign of Empress Saimei), Otomo no Kimi Inazumi, the Miyatsuko of Nuttari-no-ki, was awarded the rank of Shootsuge. Inazumi, along with the Tsugaru County Lord (Hyozo), Nushiro County Lord (Hyozo), and Tsukisara no Ki no Miyatsuko, who were also granted titles and gifts at this time, is thought to have played an important role in managing the northern region along the Sea of ​​Japan coast of the state during the period when the Ritsuryo system was being established, and therefore Nuashi Saki is recognized as a key district in Hokuetsu for a considerable period of time.

新潟市沼垂(ぬったり)付近に設けられていた古代城柵(じょうさく)。『日本書紀』によれば、647年（大化3）に置かれ、翌年その北に設けられた磐舟柵(いわふねのき)と呼応し越後(えちご)北部の開拓経営拠点となった。現在遺跡は確認されていないが、信濃(しなの)川河口部に近い水陸交通の要衝に位置したと考えられ、658年（斉明天皇4）には、渟足柵造(みやつこ)の大伴君稲積(おおとものきみいなづみ)が小乙下(しょうおつげ)を授けられている。稲積は、このときいっしょに授位、賜物を受けた津軽郡領（評造）(つがるのこおりのみやつこ)、渟代(ぬしろ)郡領（評造）、都岐沙羅柵造(つきさらのきのみやつこ)などとともに、律令(りつりょう)体制確立期国家の日本海沿岸北部地方の経営に重要な任務を果たしていたと考えられるから、渟足柵は相当長期にわたり北越の要鎮であったと認められる。
