Karasuma Oike ruins, Heian-kyo mark - Kyoto

On October 22, 1979, the Emperor Kanmu newly established Heiankyo as the capital.

A stone monument made in November 2000 donated by Lions Club A lot of earthenware from the Jomon Late Period to the Kofun Period has been excavated.

Now I just leave the monument of this ruin.

It is described as a settlement from the Jomon period to the Kofun period. I can't imagine a village from the current traffic situation at a busy intersection. Well, even the Heiankyo ruins.

There is a person at a big intersection, just outside the subway, and it says the remains of Heiankyo, but I'm not sure, so I looked it up. The Karasuma Oike Ruins are the remains of a village that was built from the late Jomon period to the Kofun period, covering a wide area of ​​about 600 meters north-south and about 800 meters east-west, centered around the Karasuma Oike ruins. Archaeological excavations have found the remains of houses from the Yayoi period and relics from the Kofun period. Along with the Karasuma Marutamachi Ruins, which stretches about 700 meters north of here, it is known as a village ruin that has been known since before the Heian period. Heiankyo was relocated from Nagaokakyo by Emperor Kanmu in the 13th year of Enryaku (794), and the site overlaps with the current city of Kyoto. It covers the area of. And the current Oike-dori is almost equivalent to Sanjo-bomon-koji, which passed between Nijo-oji and Sanjo-oji in Heiankyo. This stone marker indicates that this area is the Karasuma Oike Ruins, and that it is also the place where the Sanjobomon alley of Heiankyo passed.

The point where this monument is built is in Heiankyo, which is the Sanjobomon alley between Sakyo Sanjo Sanbo 14-cho and 15-cho, and the vicinity was a prime location at that time. Above all, in the northwest corner of the intersection, there is a famous garden starting from Emperor Go-Toba's Oshikojiden, so there is another such as Sanjobomon Izumiden.

Visit the Karasuma Oike Ruins and Heiankyo Ruins ~ ? (^^). When I read the explanation about the Karasuma Oike Ruins, I was surprised to find that many pottery from the Jomon period and the Kofun period were excavated. Furthermore, I was surprised again that it was a first-class residential area during the Heian period, and that there were Emperor Go-Toba and Nobunaga Oda's inn.

There is nothing in particular, just a stone monument. However, when reading the inscription, it seems that villages have been settled in this area long before the Heian-kyo relocation, and many relics from the late Jomon period to the Kofun period have been discovered. And since Heiankyo arrived, it seems to be a place that has become the stage of various history in the middle of the city.

In Heiankyo, the place where this monument was built was Sanjobomonkoji, which is between Sakyo Sanjosanbo 14-cho and Jugomachi, and the vicinity was a prime location at that time. Above all, in the northwest corner of the intersection, there is a famous garden starting from Emperor Go-Toba's Oshikojiden, which is why it was called by another name such as Sanjobomon Izumiden. It is generally believed that Oike-dori, which runs from east to west, is associated with passing in front of Shinsen-en Garden, but the "Bome Magazine" states that it is derived from this Izumiden garden. After that, there was a mansion of Ashikaga Ichimon as a high-class residential area in the vicinity, but during the Warring States period, there were many forts and castles around here, and Oda Nobunaga's inn was built on the site of Izumiden. rice field. It is said that these became one of the stages during the Honnoji Incident. In the Edo period, Kinza and Ginza were concentrated and transformed into a financial district, and the bustle can be seen in the office buildings of Sanjo-dori and Karasuma-dori, where many modern buildings still remain. Karasuma Oike site / Heiankyo site The area around this intersection is an archaeological named Karasuma OikeIseki. Many earthenwares dating from final phase of Jomon period to Kofun period (BC1000-AD600) are found here. In Heian period (AD794-1185) this area was a residential area for the aristocrat. Retired Emperor Gotoba had a mansion caiied "Oshikoji-dono" with a famous garden and a pond. This area continued to be prestigious residential area during the following eras and became a center of financial business in Edo period (AD1600- 1868). The prosperoty and butle of the area is seen along the Sanjo and Karasuma streets where modern architecture of Meiji period (AD1868-1912) still remain.
