Urahama - Urahama

Japanese: 浦・浜 - うらはま
Urahama - Urahama
Generally speaking, a cape or promontory that juts out into the sea is called a ura, whereas a coastal plain consisting of sand, mud and pebbles is called a hama. These are place-name terms used throughout premodern Japan to indicate fishing villages. In ancient society, under the principle of public and private benefit under the Ritsuryo system, exclusive ownership of urahama was prohibited, and the entire local community was allowed to use and benefit from them. However, in a competitive manner, fishing grounds were also used by groups of fishermen such as 'Niebito' and 'Amabe', who submitted offerings directly to the royal authority.

Japanese:
一般に,海に突出した崎・岬に対して陸地が湾曲して湖海を抱えこんでいるところを浦といい,岩塊の露出した磯に対して砂泥や小石からなる海岸平地を浜という。日本の前近代を通じて漁村を表示する地名用語。古代社会においては,律令制的な公私共利の原則の下に浦浜の排他的領有は禁じられ,地域共同体全体による用益が行われていたが,他面それと競合する形で,王権に直属して贄(にえ)を貢納する贄人・海部(あまべ)などの漁民集団の漁場利用も存在していた。
