Furuts

Japanese: 古津 - ふるつ
Furuts
The name of a port in Shiga County, Omi Province. The ancient name of Otsu. During the time of Emperor Tenchi's Omi-Otsu Palace, it was an important port (i.e. Otsu), but after the Jinshin War in 672, Otsu Palace was abandoned, and it became the port of the ancient capital, and eventually came to be called Furutsu. Alternatively, it is thought that in 761, Hora Palace was established in the same Omi Province, and Awazu at the mouth of the Seta River was named Furutsu, and therefore Furutsu was named Furutsu. In 794, Emperor Kanmu renamed Furutsu to Otsu when he moved the capital to Heian-kyo, but it is said that he restored the former good name of Furutsu (Nihonkiryaku). In 768, Furutsu Manor was donated to Saidaiji Temple in Nara, and it consisted of a manor house and cultivated fields, but it seems that it had lost its substance by the end of the 12th century. In 1277, he unloaded rice tax from Tara-sho in Wakasa Province at Furuhama. In the Omi Yochishiryaku, the name is pronounced "kotsu."

Japanese:
近江国滋賀郡にあった津の名称。大津の古称。天智天皇の近江大津宮の時代に要津(つまり大津)であったところ,672年の壬申(じんしん)の乱後に大津宮が廃されたため,古都の津となり,やがて古津と称されたのであろう。あるいは761年に同じ近江国に保良(ほら)宮が置かれて瀬田川河口部の粟津(あわづ)が大津とされたので,これに伴って古津とされたと考えられる。794年桓武天皇は平安京遷都に伴って古津を大津と改めているが,かつての佳名の大津を復活させたという(《日本紀略》)。768年に奈良西大寺に施入された古津荘があり,荘家(しょうけ)と墾田からなっていたが,12世紀末までには実体を失っていたようである。1277年には古津浜で若狭(わかさ)国太良(たら)荘の年貢米などを荷揚げしている。なお《近江輿地志略》では〈こつ〉と訓じている。
