It was part of the old domaine Yamashiro no kuni 山城の国、山城国.


Yamashiro Province (山城国, Yamashiro no Kuni) was a province of Japan, located in Kinai. It overlaps the southern part of modern Kyoto Prefecture on Honshū. Aliases include Jōshū (城州), the rare Sanshū (山州), and Yooshuu, Yōshū (雍州). It is classified as an upper province in the Engishiki.

Yamashiro Province included Kyoto itself, as in 794 AD Yamashiro became the seat of the imperial court, and, during the Muromachi Period, was the seat of the Ashikaga Shogunate as well. The capital remained in Yamashiro until its de facto move to Tokyo in the 1870s.

“Yamashiro” was formerly written with the characters meaning “mountain” (山) and “area” (代); in the 7th century, there were things built listing the name of the province with the characters for “mountain” and “ridge”/“back” (山背国). On 4 December 794 (8 Shimotsuki, 13th year of Enryaku), at the time of the christening of Heian-kyō, because of the resultant scenic beauty when Emperor Kammu made his castle utilizing the natural surroundings, the shiro was finally changed to “castle” (山城国).

I had to use a sedan chair from Ide
because of the winter sleet . . .

Instead of taking a leisurely walk, Basho had to hurry in the cold rain, using a palanquin for protection.

This hokku has the cut marker KANA at the end of line 3.

Noin Hooshi 能因法師


加久夜の長の帯刀節信は数奇者なり。始めて能因に逢ひ、相互に感緒有り。能因云はく、「今日見参の引き出物に見るべき物侍り」とて、懐中より錦の小袋を取り出だす。その中に鉋屑一筋有り。示して云はく、「これは吾が重宝なり。長柄の橋造るおの時の鉋屑なり」と云々。時に節信喜悦甚だしくて、また懐中より紙に包める物を取り出だす。これを開きて見るに、かれたるかへるなり。「これは井堤の蛙に侍り」と云々。共に感嘆しておのおのこれを懐にし、退散すと云々。
