Izumi Province

:"The characters "泉州" are also used for the name of the Chinese city of Quanzhou".. Izumi included the southern portion of the large seaport of Sakai, and was usually held by whoever ruled Osaka Castle and Settsu Province.

Name

The name “Izumi” means : "Yoshino-gen" was the only other province with this designation. Afterwards, on 15 September 740, it was abolished and merged back into Kawachi province. On 30 May 757, it was re-established with a normal province designation .

According to the "Nihongi Ryaku", on 21 April 825, the four Settsu Province districts of Higashinari, Nishinari, Kudara, and Sumiyoshi were incorporated into Izumi Province, but the residents were opposed to it, so they were restored to Settsu on 8 August the same year.

In the Edo period, Kishiwada Domain (Koide "tozama", Matsudaira/Matsui "fudai", Okabe "fudai"; 30000–60000 "koku") and Hakata Domain (Watanabe "fudai"; 13500 "koku") were established.

Sometime in 1870 or 1871 (the beginning of the Meiji era), the boundary with Settsu Province was changed to the Yamato River (it was formerly the roads of Ōshōji and Nagao Kaidō).

Capital

The provincial capital was in the Izumi District, which is now around Fuchū, Izumi. The ruins of its buildings are being excavated.

The "shugo"’s residence was right by the capital, but it was transferred to Sakai in the Muromachi period.

Temples

The only grand shrine was Ōtori Shrine in Ōtori District (Ōtorikita, Sakai), ranking among the Myōjin Taisha; it also became Izumi Province’s primary shrine.

The secondary shrine was Izumi-Anashi Shrine (Toyonaka, Izumiōtsu); the tertiary shrine was Hijiri Shrine (Ōji, Izumi), the quaternary Tsugawa Shrine (Tsugawa, Kishiwada), and the quinary Hine Shrine (Hineno, Izumisano). However, Hine Shrine was listed as the quaternary shrine in a 1501 document.

The sōja was the Five Shrine Sōja complex at Izumi-Inoue Shrine in the capital, where the kami of the above five shrines were also enshrined.

The provincial temple was Fukutoku-ji (Kokubu, Izumi); it was only for monks, there wasn’t one for nuns.
