Fukudomari

Japanese: 福泊 - ふくどまり

A medieval port in Harima Province. It corresponds to Fukudomari, Matogatacho, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, facing the Harima Nada Sea. Karadomari, one of the "Five Ports" in the ancient Seto Inland Sea, is believed to be located in this area. Around 1292, Gyoenbo Kenson, a monk of the Ritsu sect, became the "Fukudomari Island Kanjin" priest, and started a project to repair the island to protect Fukudomari from wind and waves, collecting a tax of 200 to 300 mon per ship. According to the Mine Aiki, Ando Rensho, who took over Kenson's project in 1302, invested several hundred kan of coins to build Fukudomari Island, which jutted out about two cho (100 m2) offshore, completing the construction of the port. The port prospered after that, but during the Nanboku-cho period, sand that had accumulated at the mouth of the Kako River was washed ashore by the waves and filled up the port, causing it to gradually decline. During the Edo period, it became Fukudomari Village, Innami County, Harima Province.

播磨国にあった中世の港。播磨灘に面した現在の兵庫県姫路市的形町(まとがたちょう)福泊にあたる。古代の瀬戸内海にあった〈五泊(ごはく)〉の一つ韓泊(からどまり)は，この付近に比定される。1292年頃には，律宗(りっしゅう)の僧行円房顕尊(ぎょうえんぼうけんぞん)が〈福泊島勧進(かんじん)〉上人(しょうにん)となり，福泊の風浪を防ぐための島の修築事業を進め，往来の船から１艘あたり200文から300文の津料を徴収した。《峯相記(みねあいき)》によれば，1302年顕尊の事業を引き継いだ安東蓮聖(あんどうれんしょう)が数百貫の銭を投じて２町ばかり沖へ突き出した福泊島を築き，築港を完成させた。以後，港は繁栄したが，南北朝期に加古(かこ)川河口に堆積していた砂が，波に吹き寄せられて港のうちを埋め，しだいに衰退していったという。江戸時代には播磨国印南(いなみ)郡福泊村となった。
