Hosorogi township

Japanese: 細呂宜郷 - ほそろぎごう

This is one of the ten districts of Kawaguchi Manor in the territory of Kofuku-ji Temple in Nara, and is in the area of Awara City, Fukui Prefecture today. According to the "Kawaguchi Manor Fields and Lands Invoice" of 1287, the total number of fields in Hosoroki-go was 227 cho 3 tan, and the annual tax of 538 koku was collected directly by the magistrate, with silk and cotton also being the burden. There were nine districts for which the head of the fields (Tato) was responsible for the annual tax, and the manor officials included the Mandokoro, Kumon, Betsuto, and Sento. In 1414, the local samurai Horie clan was appointed as the Mandokoro and Kumon. After the Onin War and Bunmei War, the Asakura clan took over, but even during the Eiroku period (1558-1570), the final period of the Asakura clan's domain system, Kofuku-ji Temple continued to collect the main tax, soldier's tax, and miscellaneous tax from the district. It was a key transportation point to Kaga Province, and a checkpoint was already established there during the Muromachi period. During the Edo period, it was called Hosoroki Village, and was a post station on the Hokuriku Kaido road, with a checkpoint established there as well. The site of Hosoroki Mansion, where the Horie (Hosoroki) clan lived, is now here.

奈良興福寺領の河口(かわぐち)荘十郷の一つで，現在の福井県あわら市域にあたる。1287年の〈河口荘田地引付〉によれば細呂宜郷の総田数227町３反余，代官が直接収納する年貢538石余で，ほか絹・綿なども負担した。田頭（田堵(たと)）が年貢を請け負う九つの名があり，荘官として政所(まんどころ)・公文(くもん)・別当・専当(せんどう)などがいた。1414年政所・公文に在地の武士堀江氏が任じられている。応仁・文明の乱後は朝倉氏に代わったが，同氏領国制下末期の永禄年間（1558年−1570年）にも興福寺は郷の本役銭・夫兵士銭・土雑事銭などを徴収している。加賀国への交通の要地で，室町期にはすでに関が置かれていた。江戸時代は細呂木村と称し，北陸街道の宿駅となって関所も置かれた。堀江（細呂木）氏が拠った細呂木館跡がある。
