Oe Mikuriya

The Imperial territory was located in Kawachi Province, in the area currently centered on Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture. This area was a large inlet where Osaka Bay flowed into the lakes and marshes created by the Yamato River. Fishing and hunting have been popular since ancient times, and the area was designated as a kugoe, where fish and birds were offered as tributes to the Imperial Court. In 905 (Engi 5), the area where fishing and hunting for the purpose of tribute was permitted was reconfirmed as mizushidokoro, and placed under the jurisdiction of mizushidokoro. Fishing and hunting extended to the neighboring province of Settsu, and conflicts over interests arose in various places. For this reason, in 1119 (Gen'ei 2), an order was issued to clarify the territory, to compile a list of kugojin who were permitted to fish and hunt, and to investigate the fields and households that had been given to them. It is known that in 1161 (Oho 1), 230 cho of fields had been given to the kugojin. Gradually, they began to use rice to buy fish and birds and pay them as tribute. The tributes continued until the Muromachi period, although they decreased. Since the Heian period, the Mizuhaya clan, who had served as the local caretaker for generations, grew into a group of samurai.

河内(かわち)国内、現在の大阪府東大阪市を中心とした地にあった皇室領。この地は大和(やまと)川がつくる湖沼に、大阪湾が入り込み、大きな入り江をなしていた。古くから漁猟が盛んで、朝廷へ贄(にえ)として魚鳥を貢納する供御(くご)江に指定されていた。905年（延喜5）貢納を目的にした漁猟が許される領域は御厨として改めて確認され、御厨子所(みずしどころ)の管轄下に置かれた。漁猟は隣国摂津国にまで及び、各地で利権争いが生じている。このため1119年（元永2）領域を明確にし、漁猟が許される供御人の名簿をつくり、彼らに与えられている田地・在家(ざいけ)を調べるよう命令が出されている。1161年（応保1）には供御人に230町の田地が与えられていたことがわかる。しだいに米で魚鳥を買い集めて貢納するようになっていったらしい。貢納は減少しながら室町時代まで続いた。平安時代以来、現地の管理人を代々務めた水走(みずはや)氏が武士団に成長している。
