The Nanzan Treasury Incident

Japanese: 南山御蔵入騒動 - みなみやまおくらいりそうどう

In the Edo period, peasant uprisings occurred in the Nanzan Gotaku-iri domain (present Minamiaizu County, Fukushima Prefecture, etc.) of Aizu, Mutsu Province. During the Kyoho era (1716-1736), peasants in Shimogo, who were suffering from the harsh tax increase policy, appealed to the shogunate magistrate, and the uprisings spread throughout the Nanzan area, demanding a reduction in tax, a change in rice tax to kokudai-inou, and the abolition of the village head system. As a result of the shogunate's investigation, their demands were accepted, such as the suspension of rice transportation to Edo, and some village heads were recalled from their duties and fined, but the ringleader of the uprising and five others were condemned, and 377 people were punished with fines and the confiscation of their fields and household goods.

江戸時代，陸奥(むつ)国会津(あいづ)の南山御蔵入領（現，福島県南会津郡など）内で起こった百姓一揆。享保年間（1716年−1736年）年貢(ねんぐ)の苛酷な増徴策に苦しむ下郷の百姓が幕府代官に訴えたところ，南山一帯に一揆が広がり，年貢の軽減，米納を石代納(こくだいのう)とすること，郷頭(かしら)制の廃止などを要求した。幕府の吟味の結果，江戸廻米(かいまい)が中止されるなど要求が受け入れられたほか，郷頭の一部が役儀の召上げのうえ過料に処されているが，一揆側の首謀者ほか５人は断罪，377人は田畑家財の取上げや過料などの処分を受けている。
