Description

The hunting of the Ozu feudal lord was as mall-scale one held in takano near the castle. It was an opportunity that the feudal lord, vassals of the lord, and population of the fief met and interacted each other in the late 17th century, the era ofYasuoki Kato who was the second lord of the Ozu clan. In the 18th century, some lords who do not hunt appear. The purpose of hunting changed to military exercises, countermeasure against beast harm, and hunting as a symbol of military force. Also, the hunting was an event for the residents to see or a place to encounter monstrosities. At the end of the 18th century, in the era of the I0t h feudal lord Yasuzumi Kato, al arge-scale mobilization of about 4,000 people took place in the odaihajime hunting at Mt.yanase. On the other hand, the medals for the elderly and commendable people and the osukui act (salvation) for the poor were implemented. The falconers who supported these hunts were maintained by the families oflower-ranked vassals'succession or by adopting skillful person, and had the equipment to keep birds in their residences. In addition, the hunting grounds were limited as a teppo-tyoujiba (a place where prohibited people from using guns), such as the otakanoba, where were watched by torimikata or torimetsuke, and protected the birds and beasts. Meanwhile, as a countermeasure against beast harm, each village submitted humidashi petitions and odoshidutsu petitions, and the hunting of the lord and livelihood of the residents competed each other.
