Izumi Province
- The characters 泉州 are also used for the name of the Chinese city of Quanzhou.
Izumi Province (和泉国, Izumi no kuni) was a province of Japan in the area of southern Osaka Prefecture.[1] It bordered on Kii to the south, Yamato and Kawachi to the east, and Settsu to the north. Its abbreviated form name was Senshū (泉州). In terms of the Gokishichidō system, Izumi was one of the provinces of the Kinai circuit. Under the Engishiki classification system, Izumi was ranked as one of the "inferior countries" (下国) in terms of importance. The provincial capital was located in the Fuchi neighborhood of what is now the city of Izumi. The ichinomiya of the province is the Ōtori taisha also located in Sakai.
History
Early history
According to the Shoku Nihongi, the Izumi and Hine Districts were separated from Kawachi Province on 23 April 716; moreover, on 8 May that same year, the Ōtori District was also separated from Kawachi, and the three districts were made into a province named Izumi-gen (和泉監). The name "Izumi" means "fountain" or "spring" (泉), but is written with two characters, the character for "peace" (和) being prepended due to an imperial edict in 713. This character does not play into the reading. An imperial villa, Chinu Palace (茅渟宮, Chinu no Miya, also known as "Izumi Palace") was in the area, and it seems that this has something to do with the unusual classification of gen (監): Yoshino-gen was the only other province with this designation. Afterwards, on 15 September 740, Izumi was abolished and merged back into Kawachi province. On 30 May 757, it was re-established with a normal province designation kuni (国).
According to the Nihon Kiryaku, on 21 April 825, four counties from Settsu Province: Higashinari, Nishinari, Kudara, and Sumiyoshi were incorporated into Izumi Province, but the local residents were opposed to this change, so the area was restored to Settsu on 8 August the same year.
The
The Engishiki record of 927 AD lists one major and 52 minor Shinto shrines in the province. The major shrine is the Ōtori taisha, located in what is now Nishi-ku, Sakai. This was also the ichinomiya of the province. During the Heian period, Izumi was dominated by shōen landed estates, the largest of which was the Hine shōen, which was controlled by the aristocratic Kujō family.
