Abstract

This paper examines the domination of bird hunting in Ohmi in order to advance the research on the Shogunate hawking ground of Hikone han. Hikone han recognized Ohmi as the Shogunate hawking ground. However, the extent to which the Hikone han could permit bird hunting remained within its own territory, and could not be involved in bird hunting in other territories. Hikone han also worked on the construction of a bird sanctuary, but the scope was not limited to other territories. When the Hikone han tried to become practical the Shogunate hawking ground, other lords disagreed with that claim. One of the reasons was that such a rule of bird hunting was actually developed. In the middle of the 18th century, Hikone han, through negotiations with the Shogunate, promoted the realization of the Shogunate hawking ground on the grounds of worship of "Kyoto Guardian". As a result, Hikone han would issue bird tags to other hunters. However, not all lords were convinced.
