Ouraiden

Japanese: 往来田 - おうらいでん

The clan members of Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine (currently Kamigamo Shrine in Kita Ward, Kyoto City) were given land in the various villages surrounding the shrine. According to Chiaki Naokazu's Nankoki (1814), citing the diary of Kamo Tsunehisa, a priest from the late Kamakura period, this began in 1303 (Kagen 1). In principle, up to 140 clan members in order of age were given 5 tan of rice fields per person, one tan for each of the five villages in the precincts of Kamigamo Rokugo (Kamigamo Rokugo), excluding Onogo. These fields were allowed to be used for life except in cases of being barred from the precincts due to a crime, and were returned to the shrine upon death, and new recipients were selected from among the clan members who were previously ineligible to receive the land, according to their age.

賀茂別雷（かもわけいかずち）神社(現，京都市北区の上賀茂神社)の氏人らが，同社周辺の諸郷において与えられていた給田。蔣池直一《南柯記》(1814)が鎌倉末期の神主賀茂経久の日記を引いて記すところでは，1303年(嘉元1)に始まるという。年齢順に140名までの氏人が，人別5反の田地を，境内六郷(上賀茂六郷)のうち小野郷を除く河上･大宮･小山･中村･岡本の5郷に各1反ずつ支給されるのが原則であった。この田は罪科による闕所などの場合を除き終身用益を認められ，死去の際社中に返還，新たに従来受給資格のなかった〈無足〉の氏人のうちから，年齢次第に受給者が定められた。
