Funaki Pass

Japanese: 船木関 - ふなきのせき

Lakeside barrier established in Omi Province. The name Funaki Barrier was said to have originated from the fact that there were similar Funaki Barriers in Gamo District (present-day Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture) on the southeast shore of Lake Biwa, and Takashima District (present-day Takashima City) on the west shore, both of which were distribution centers for timber for shipbuilding. In 1382, the annual tax payments from Ono Manor in Kaga Province, which was the property of Rinsenji Temple in Kyoto, were held at Lakeside Funakihama Barrier, which was under the control of Enryakuji Temple, and the shogunate ordered that they be allowed to pass after an investigation. This is thought to be Funaki Barrier in Takashima District, but in some cases it is difficult to distinguish. In 1447, when materials for the construction of the Buddhist temple of Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto were being transported from Hida, the shogunate ordered that they be allowed to pass without hassle through barriers under the control of the Sanmon Gate, such as Hiyoshi Funaki Barrier East and West. In 1455, the shogunate donated Funaki Barrier to Toji Temple in Kyoto as a construction fee office in place of Yodotsu Barrier. In 1485, the position of deputy governor of Funaki Barrier in Takashima County, which was a shogunate estate, was transferred from the Kobayashi clan to the Ise clan.

Japanese:

近江国に置かれた湖上関。琵琶湖の南東岸の蒲生(がもう)郡（現滋賀県近江八幡市），西岸の高島郡（現高島市）に同じ船木関があり，いずれも造船用木材の集散地であったことに由来するという。1382年京都臨川(りんせん)寺領の加賀国大野荘の年貢が延暦(えんりゃく)寺支配下の〈湖上船木浜関所〉で留め置かれたため，幕府は調査のうえ通過させるよう命じており，これは高島郡の船木関と考えられるが，分別しがたい場合もある。1447年京都南禅寺の仏殿の造営用材を飛騨から運送するにあたり，〈日吉船木関所東西〉などの山門(さんもん)支配下の関所に対して煩いなく通過させるよう命じられている。1455年幕府は京都東寺に淀津関に代わって船木関を造営料所として寄進している。1485年に幕府御料所の〈高島郡船木関〉の代官職が小林氏から伊勢氏に代えられている。
