Hyogo dormitory - Hyogo Ryo

A military office in the Nara period. It is divided into left and right. Its Japanese name is "Tsuwamono no Kura no Tsukasa". It was in charge of the Hyogo ceremonial guards, the storage of weapons, and their accounting. It was made up of 1 Kami, 1 Suke, 1 Daijo, 1 Shojo, 1 Daisakan, 1 Shozoku, 20 Shibu, and 2 Jikitei. Two Shisho were newly appointed in the early Heian period. The Hyogo ceremonial guards were used in the New Year's Day ceremonies and banquets for foreign visitors held in the imperial capital. The weapons were thought to have included various military implements for group battles, and the Hyogo-ryo had a heavy responsibility to manage the weapons, and the accounting of the weapons and weapons required imperial order and was under strict control. Furthermore, the Nai-Hyogo-tsukasa was also established, and there were various theories regarding the relationship between the Hyogo-ryo and the Nai-Hyogo-tsukasa during the Heian period, such as whether there were two identical organizations established in preparation for emergencies, or whether there were separate systems for the accounting of general weapons and weapons directly related to the Emperor.It is assumed that after the enactment of the Ritsuryo, the purpose of the Ritsuryo changed with regard to the operation of the Hyogo-ryo.

奈良時代の軍事官衙(かんが)。左右に分かれる。和名「つわもののくらのつかさ」。兵庫の儀仗(ぎじょう)、兵器の安置、出納を管掌した。構成は、それぞれ、頭(かみ)1、助(すけ)1、大允(だいじょう)1、少允1、大属(だいさかん)1、少属1、使部(しぶ)20、直丁(じきてい)2。平安初期に史生(ししょう)各2員が新置。兵庫の儀仗は帝都において行われた元旦(がんたん)儀衛、蕃客(ばんきゃく)宴会などで使用されたもの。また兵器については、集団戦用の各種軍器を含んでいたと考えられ、兵庫寮の武器管理の任は重く、その器仗出納は、勅を必要とし、厳重な管理下に置かれていた。なお内兵庫司が併置されていたが、兵庫寮と内兵庫司の関係について、非常に備えて同じものを二つ設定していたのか、一般的な武器の出納と天皇に直接かかわる武器の出納の機構を独自に設けていたのか、平安期に諸説がみられ、律令(りつりょう)以後、兵庫寮の運営については律令制定の趣旨に変化があったと推測される。
