Ōsumi Province
.
Ōsumi ( Japanese. 大 隅 国 , Ōsumi no kuni ) or Gushu ( 隅 州 ) was one of the historical provinces of Japan in what is now the eastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture , including the Ōsumi Islands . Ōsumi bordered the provinces of Hyuga and Satsuma .
history
In 713, an uprising by the indigenous Hayato took place in the region and was suppressed. According to the Nihon Shoki Chronicle , on the 3rd day of the 4th month in the same year, the districts ( kōri / gun ) Kimotsuki ( 肝 坏 郡 ), Soo ( 囎 唹 郡 ), Ōsumi ( 大 隅 郡 ) and Aira ( 姶 羅 郡 , no relationship with today's Aira district ) was spun off from Hyūga province and formed the Ōsumi province. To instruct the Hayato people from other provinces were settled here, including in 714 200 households (about 5000 people) from the province of Buzen . For example, in the Kuwabara district ( 桑 原 郡 ), which was newly founded due to the emigration, there is a village called 国 国 with the same spelling as the province of Toyo, from which the province of Buzen a year earlier emerged.
Like Kuwabara, the district of Hishikari ( 菱 刈 郡 ) emerged over time and after the incorporation of the province of Tane in 824 Gomu ( 馭 謨 郡 ) and Kumage ( 熊 毛 郡 ) were added.
The provincial capital ( kokufu ) was located in the Kuwabara district, probably in what is now the Kokubu -Fuchū district of Kirishima , which is indicated by its name, since kokubu denotes the provincial temple and fuchū is a medieval name for the provincial capital.
At the beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate , the province as well as the neighboring Satsuma was ruled by Shimazu Tadahisa as Shugo , but changed to the Hōjō family as early as 1217 . Only with their overthrow and the establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate did the rule change permanently to the Shimazu . With the Sengoku period , the Satsuma fiefdom was established with the Shimazu as a daimyo in 1602 , of which Ōsumi became part and so did not develop a major administrative center itself.
In 1871 the province fell to Kagoshima Prefecture with the abolition of the feudal system and the establishment of the prefectures .
dialect
The Ōsumi region has developed its own local dialect, which is different from the language in the rest of Kagoshima Prefecture. There is considerable pride in traditional poetry written in the Ōsumi and Kagoshima dialects.
