Historical record

edit

In 713, the road that traversesMinoand Shinano provinces was widened to accommodate increasing numbers of travelers through theKiso Districtof modern Nagano Prefecture.[2]

In theSengoku period,Shinano Province was often split among fiefs and castle towns developed, includingKomoro,Ina,andUeda.Shinano was one of the major centers ofTakeda Shingen's power during his wars withUesugi Kenshinand others.

During theAzuchi–Momoyama period,after Nobunaga's assassination atHonnō-ji Incident,the province was contested between Tokugawa Ieyasu and theGo-Hōjō clanbased inOdawara castle.TheTokugawa clan,TheUesugi clanand theHōjō claneach aspired to seize the vast area inShinano Province,Ueno region,andKai Province,which ruled by the remnants of the many small clans formerly serving the Takeda clan. Following of disorder post death of Nobunaga, at the same time with Ieyasu departure an army of 8,000 soldiers to those disputed region. This caused the triangle conflict between those three factions in the event which dubbed by historians asTenshō-Jingo Warbroke out.[3][a]As the war turned in favor of Tokugawa clan, combined with the defection ofSanada Masayukito the Tokugawa faction, the Hōjō clan now negotiate truce with Ieyasu[6]and The Go-Hōjō clan then sent Hōjō Ujinobu as representative, while the Tokugawa sent Ii Naomasa as representative for the preliminary meetings.[7][8]Furthermore, In October, representatives from the Oda clan such asOda Nobukatsu,Oda Nobutaka,and Toyotomi mediated the negotiation until the truce officially concluded.[9]

Suwa taishawas designated as the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) for the province.[10]

In 1871, during theMeiji period,with theabolition of the han systemand the establishment ofprefectures(Haihan Chiken) after theMeiji Restoration,Shinano Province's ex-domains/1871 prefectures and ex-shogunate territories/1868 prefectures (mainlyIna[merger of several shogunate demesne administrations with parts ofMatsumoto],Okutono,Iwamurada,Komoro,Ueda,Matsushiro,Suzaka,Iiyama,Suwa/Takashima,Takatō,Iida,Matsumoto) andTakayama/Hidawhich coveredHida Provincewere administratively merged into Nagano (initiallyNakano Prefecturein 1870) andChikumaprefectures.The seat of the prefectural government of Nakano was Nakano town fromTakai District(becameNakano Cityin 1954), Nagano's prefectural capital was Nagano town inMinochi District(→Nagano Cityin 1897), and Chikuma's capital was Matsumoto town,Chikuma district(Matsumoto Cityfrom 1907). In the second wave of prefectural mergers in 1875/76, Chikuma was split again: the Western part covering Hida Province was merged into Gifu, and the Eastern part in Shinano became part of Nagano. Since that time, Nagano is essentially contiguous to Shinano.

  1. ^The name of "Tenshō-Jingo War" was coined by Tashiro Takashi in 1980.[4]Furthermore, is also a theory that from the perspective that local powers which continued to fight over the possession of the Oda clan's leftover territories, there is evidence that Tokugawa Ieyasu's transfer to theKantō regionfollowing the fall of the Hōjō clan in 1590 and the placement of Toyotomi-line daimyo, until transfer of Uesugi Kagekatsu to Aizu, where the local daimyo were separated from their former territory and the establishment of control by theAzuchi–Momoyama period,was considered to be the extension of this conflict.[5]
