settled in the north of village, and to the south the village was formed by emigrating from Nishi(west)-Ushizawa. However, this
area at that time was high and the water supply was bad, rice paddies were easily affected by drought, and paddy field cultivation
was extremely difficult. This can be easily judged by looking at the topography of the settlements. After the Kurimura-weir was
opened, the rice-field-open were gradually progressed. Today, the water-derivation business for irrigation water is progressing,

today.
Mr. Sawara here, it is a family that corresponds to the distant relation of Mr. Aizu-Ashina who is connected from the ancestor
Sawara Jyūrō Yoshitsura of the Ashina family. It seems the Inari shrine of the Torii in the photo was the residence god of
Ushizawa-mansion.
Mr. Aizu-Ashina of the Tenshō years was, at a time was involved in alliance and rupture, such as Uesugi Kagekatsu in Echigo
(Niigata prefecture). Satake Yoshishige of Hitachi (Ibaraki prefecture) and Date Masamune of Yonezawa (Yonezawa city,

of Ushizawa-mansion, but it is a residential area and no evidence of the mansion remains is
retained. In the Aizu-Kagami describes that there was a residence by two peoples in Ushizawa
area.

long time. The place name of Magarinuma is, it has been reported that there was a big swamp of the hexagon in the north of
this village in old times. Looking at Mt. Bandai (altitude 1817m) in the distance, and located near the flow of the Ō-kawa river
(Aga-kawa river), in the period when large-scale shore protection work is not possible, it can be imagined that the view of the
Aizu plain, where many rivers and swamps and wetlands are spreading, would have been widespread. The separation flow of
the Tsurunuma-gawa river at that time, and the main stream and the tributary of Ō-kawa river (Aga-kawa river) are while

Mr. Ashina’s vassal. During the invasion of Aizu by Date Masamune in Tenshō 17 year (1589 year), it was caught in a fire
caused by war, it seems that it was not reused because the management system in the territory changed from the rule of
Mr. Gamō. It is the "all that remains, of warrior’s dreams" of 400 years ago.

West of Aizu-Bange town. From Sugi Yakushi in the Sugi settlements to 0.8 km south of the
old road Tōdera-Akaru line (Hattan-road), it is located in the Funakubo settlements.
According to the description of the Aizu-Kagami the Funakubo-village-fortress, it is said that
Abe Izumonokami Michiyasu the samurai (in charge of security and security at the temple) of
Ōdera (Enichi-ji temple, Bandai-town, Yama county, Fukushima prefecture), built it on a scale
East-West 40-Ken (73m) North-South 21-Ken (38m). It is said that the Kurosawa Kaname
lived later. It is thought that this Kurosawa Kaname is one of the clan of Mr. Kurosawa who is
one of the three brothers of the owner of Sugi-mansion. Details of the year of built the castle is
unknown. After Abe Izumonokami Michiyasu was built, the village was impoverished by famine

turned into a residential area in later years. The trace of the earthworks of the mansion is left in the vicinity of Inari shrine in
the northern part of the settlements. The height of the Inari shrine in the photo is presumed to be a remnant of a part of the
earthworks. In the old days, there were many Tsuka (Kofun), it is said so it said "Tsuka-hara(field)", or the occurrence of the
place name of the Tsukahara is, when horse grazing flourished in the area around Bange in the Middle period, it is said that the
reason is that the grass for horse feed were harvested and bundled. It is said that the horse produced in Bange in the Middle
period was presented to Kamakura and Kyoto far away. Especially Minamoto-no-Yoritomo of Kamakura and Oda Nobunaga of
Azuchi-jyō castle in later years, it is said that it liked the horse from Aizu very much. Mr. Ashina, the lord of Aizu in the Middle
period, was trying to strengthen the relationship with the talented people of time by offering horses and others from Aizu.

(1842 year) and closed-kiln in Meiji 19 year (1886 year). There were three potter kilns in the Sugi district, but it seems to have
gone out of business at the same time as closing the kiln. Moreover, it is said the Aizu clan was dispatching the leader from Hongō
(Hongō district, Aizu-Misato town, Ōnuma county). The structure of the kiln was a structure of the Ōbori-Sōma-ware-type (Ōbori
district, Namie town, Fukushima prefecture), and it seems to have been a completely different structure from Hongō- ware.
The Aizu clan was dispatched Aizu-Hongō-ware Tile-master Kashiwagi Hyōgo as it was leader. It is recorded that the porcelain
clay was mined from Mt. Byakkosawa in the southwest of the Sugi village. The first national industrial exhibition of the advocated
by Ōkubo Toshimichi in the Meiji 9 year (1876 year) was held in the Meiji 10 year (1877 year), and there are in the list of exhibits,
"Teacups 16, iron color, Yukihira 17, Suzuki Kojirō, Funasugi village, Kawanuma county, Iwashiro country"(old name of Aizu).
It is said Mr. Suzuki Kojirō of Funasugi village, Kawanuma county exhibited 16 iron-glazed teacups made of pottery and the 17
Yukihira. Yukihira is a type of tableware and cooking utensils. It is a clay pot shaped no lid and like a large teapot with a spout
and handle. It is mainly used when boil porridge in modern times. It is called a Yukihira-pot, named after the reason Ariwara- no-Yukihira that made burned salt from seawater. In the excavation, a large number of pottery pieces were excavated from around
the kiln ruins. In addition to pottery pieces and Hongō-ware, it seems to have been a wide variety of things such as dyeing
porcelain of China, Hizen, Seto, Ōbori-Sōma, Karatsu, and Mino. There are seemed to have been a reference of pottery. Pottery
seems to have been a thing to use as a daily miscellaneous ware, such as tableware, Buddhist tools in Tsuruga-jyō castle, it seems
that all the things that were put out from the kiln were carried into the castle. Mr. Kashiwagi Hyōgo of the Tile-master is, a person
who was a potter’s craftsman who burnt the roof-tile of Tsuruga-jyō castle. As an employment measure in the not busy the
government-kiln for the roof-tile burning, it might have burnt the miscellaneous ware for daily use in the castle. A little trivia is
here. The person named Ariwara-no-Yukihira was a poeter of the early Heian period, it is a court noble who was promoted to the
government position called the Chūnagon. It is an elder brother of Ariwara-no-Narihira who is also a poeter, and is super famous
by Hyakunin-Isshu (100 poems by 100 famous poets).
