THE MIYOSHI RESIDENCE DURING THE ONARI CEREMONY IN 1561 (PART 2) : LOCATION AND HISTORY OF THE RESIDENCE

Abstract

This study aims to identify the location of the Miyoshi residence, which hosted the shogun in 1561, by analyzing related pla ce names in the Onari-ki records and early modern maps and geographical descriptions. The key findings are as follows:

1) The residence’s location can be narrowed down to Furuki-chou (present-day Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City).

2) This estimation is supported by commonalities between the changes in residence occupants in the late medieval period and town name changes in the early modern period.

3) The Miyoshi clan’s use of this residence was temporary, specifically for hosting the shogun.
