Bandori Incident - Bandori Incident

Japanese: ばんどり騒動 - ばんどりそうどう
Bandori Incident - Bandori Incident

An uprising that took place in October and November 1869 (Meiji 2) in Niikawa County, Ecchu Province (present-day Toyama Prefecture), under the Kanazawa Domain. It was so named because many of the participating farmers wore "bandori" (a type of straw raincoat). After years of poor harvests, villages petitioned through the Tomura (a village official who governs around 10 villages) for tax reductions and relief, but the Tomura did not take up the petitions. As October began, unrest intensified, and an uprising began on the 12th. After repeated petitions and strong appeals in various places, the uprising turned to smashing and burning down the villages from the 23rd, with the number of participants reaching a peak of 20,000. However, on November 3rd, the uprising was put down by the Domain's rifle squad, with dozens of casualties. This turmoil, which subsequently resulted in a major reshuffle of ten village officials, was one of the most representative social reform uprisings of the time.

Japanese:

1869年(明治2)10~11月に金沢藩領越中(えっちゅう)国(現富山県)新川(にいかわ)郡で起こった一揆(いっき)。参加農民の多くが「ばんどり」(蓑(みの)の一種)を着用したことから、この名がある。連年の凶作に村々は十村(とむら)(10か村前後を束ねる村役人)を通じて年貢減免と救済を嘆願していたが、十村はこれを取り上げなかったため、10月に入ると不穏の度を増し、12日から蜂起(ほうき)が始まった。各地で嘆願、強訴が繰り返されたのち、23日以後は打毀(うちこわし)、焼打ちに転化し、参加人員は最高2万人に達した。しかし11月3日に、藩の鉄砲隊の前に数十名の死傷者を出して鎮圧された。このあと十村の大幅な入れ替えなどの成果をもたらしたこの騒動は、この時期の代表的な世直し一揆の一つである。
