Shimōsa Province

Shimousa (Japanese下 総 国, Shimousa no kuni ) was an old province of Japan, which included the present-day northern part of Chiba Prefecture and the southern strip of the Ibaraki Prefecture on the island of Honshu. Shimousa comes from the founder Shimo who grew up there. Shimousa bordered by the provinces of Hitachi, Kazusa, Kozuke, Musashi and Shimotsuke. Together with Kazusa it is also called Soshu (総 州).

History

The province was created in the 7th century by splitting the old province Fusa (総 国) in the provinces of Kami- tsu - fusa ( " upper Fusa " ) and Shimo- tsu - fusa ( " sub - Fusa "). Towards the end of the 7th century, however, the dialect variants Kazusa and Shimousa prevailed. According to their geographic positions Kazusa was also Nanso (南 総, dt " South Fusa " ) and Shimousa also Hokusō (北 総, dt " North Fusa " ) called.

Provincial capital and temple

The old provincial capital ( Kokufu ) was in the modern district Konodai (国 府 台; Kō being a contraction of Kokufu is ) of Ichikawa. In the feudal era but Sakura was the more important city. Shimousa went through the hands of various rulers and temporarily the Province or any part thereof was controlled by Daimyo provinces of Musashi and Kazusa.
