天明期の越前における公料巡見使宿: 越前における巡見使の宿に関する研究 その1

摘要

With the help of old documents and records, I investigated the houses where shogunal inspectors and their attendants rested and stayed in Echizen in the Tenmei period. The houses were the private ones in agricultural districts. The inspectors and their attendants organized three parties of five to seven members. The houses attached conditions to the first room with alcove and ceiling, the second room and another room. They were provided with the first room with toilet and bath, the second room with toilet and bath. Toilet and bath were made temporary and the wall, shoji, fusuma were repaired. Most of the farmhouses of upper class in 1787(Tenmei 7) had the first room with alcove and the second room. One third of the farmhouses had upper toilet and upper bath.%江戸時代に幕府は私領•天領の政治の実態、幕府法令の実施状況、物価や金銀の相場、禁教と治安維持、公事訴訟などを調査•監察するために諸藩や天領へ巡見使を派遣した。各地の諸藩に派遣した巡見使を廻国（諸国あるいは私領)巡見使、天領に派遣した巡見使を公料(御料)巡見使と称した。この時、各地の大名などは巡見の道筋にあたる村々や城下町などに巡見使の宿泊や休憩のための施設を準備し、あわせてその道筋となる道路や橘の整備をおこなった。
