Izumi Province
Izumi Province was a province of Japan. It is also referred to as. It lay in Kinai, and its area today composes the south-western part of Osaka Prefecture. The Ōshōji in Sakai was the border with Settsu Province, until the beginning of the Meiji period, when the boundary was changed to be at the Yamato River. Izumi was classified as a lower province in the Engishiki.
The northern part was called, and the southern part. Izumi included the southern portion of the large seaport of Sakai, and was usually held by whomever ruled Osaka Castle and Settsu Province.
Name
The name "Izumi" means "fountain" or "spring", but is written with two characters, the character for "peace" being prepended due to an imperial edict in 713. This character does not play into the reading.Because the provincial capital was in modern Fuchū town, Izumi city, Osaka Prefecture, the city adopted the name of the province as its name.
Development
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 constructed. The imperial villa of Chinu Palace was in Izumi, and it seems that this has something to do with the unusual classification of : Yoshino-gen was the only other province with this designation. Afterwards, on 15 September 740, it was abolished and merged back into Kawachi province. On 30 May 757, it was re-established with a normal province designation.According to the Nihongi Ryaku, on 21 April 825, the four Settsu Province districts of Higashinari, Nishinari, Kudara, and Sumiyoshi were incorporated into Izumi Province, but the residents were opposed to it, so they were restored to Settsu on 8 August the same year.
In the Edo period, Kishiwada Domain and Hakata Domain were established.
Sometime in 1870 or 1871, the boundary with Settsu Province was changed to the Yamato River.
Capital
The provincial capital was in the Izumi District, which is now around Fuchū, Izumi. The ruins of its buildings are being excavated.The shugos residence was right by the capital, but it was transferred to Sakai in the Muromachi period.
Shrines and temples
The only grand shrine was Ōtori Shrine in Ōtori District, ranking among the Myōjin Taisha; it also became Izumi Province's primary shrine. The secondary shrine was Izumi-Anashi Shrine ; the tertiary shrine was Hijiri Shrine, the quaternary Tsugawa Shrine, and the quinary Hine Shrine. However, Hine Shrine was listed as the quaternary shrine in a 1501 document. The sōja was the Five Shrine Sōja complex at Izumi-Inoue Shrine in the capital, where the kami of the above five shrines were also enshrined.The provincial temple was Fukutoku-ji. It was only for monks, there was no temple available for nuns.
