北海道の八雲町をご存知でしょうか! 函館と室蘭の中間にある広大な町です。どれくらい広いかというと長久手市の45倍程の面積(956km²)もあり、全国でも35番目に広い自治体です
その八雲の歴史は、じつは長久手と深い関係にあります。長久手の初代村長は吉田知行(ともつら)氏ですが、吉田知行は村長になる前、側近として仕えていた徳川慶勝(旧尾張藩藩主)から、明治維新後の明治10年、路頭に迷っていた尾張藩の旧藩士を救済するため北海道開拓と移住をすすめて欲しいと白羽の矢を立てたのでした
吉田知行は旧徳川藩の開拓団とリーダーとして、まだ原生林が生い茂るだけの札幌以南の渡島半島を3ヶ月に渡って踏査、その結果、八雲の地を旧尾張徳川家で開拓するべきと徳川慶勝に進言しています。また自身も移住を決断しています
その後、吉田知行は一旦帰郷し関係者の要請で初代長久手村長になりますが、病に罹ってからは再び八雲に戻り自ら開拓した八雲の地で逝去しています
北海道の八雲町とはどんなところかレポートで一緒に訪ねてみましょう!

まさに北海道、雄大な海岸線と青い太平洋が望めます


八雲町地図:八雲町ホームページより
八雲町:人口約14,000人
町の西部地区の大半は森林で、海抜1,000⑬を超える山々がある
遊楽部山(ユーラップサン)が1,277mで八雲で最も高い(1,377mの伊吹山とちょうど100m違いの高山である)
八雲町は、日本で唯一、「太平洋」と「日本海」に面した自治体
朝に太平洋からの日の出を拝み、
夕刻には大西洋への日の入りを望めてしまう

Webサイト「アイヌモシリと二つの海」(太平洋側〜日本海側 横断ルート)より引用
上記サイトのモデルルートのタイムスケジュールでは、太平洋側の部落魚港をスタートし噴火湾パノラマパークなどを訪れ八雲の街並みと太平洋を望んだ後、八雲墓地でアイヌが被害にあった事件を学び、開拓移住上陸の第一歩の地碑を訪れます
さらに八雲町郷土資料館・木彫り熊資料館を訪問、その後日本海側の熊石海岸で日本海へ沈む夕日を堪能

こちらは八雲町の西側に広がる大西洋
同じ町の中の移動で、朝に太平洋を拝んで、移動して夕刻に大西洋への日の入りを望むことさえできてしまうとんでもない町です
北海道開拓を決意した尾張徳川家当主の徳川慶勝は、後に長久手初代村長になる側近の吉田知行を北海道に派遣
北海道開拓を決意した尾張徳川家当主徳川慶勝は吉田知行を北海道に派遣します。吉田知行らは道南の遊楽部川流域に広大な原生林を見つけ適地として復命。慶勝は即座に遊楽部への移住計画を決定しました。北国の暮らしも、農業も経験したことのない旧藩士に慶勝は何を求めたでしょうか?
1878年頃から旧尾張藩士族が集団移住で開拓
徳川幕府が終わりを迎えた激動の明治維新後、
生活に困った尾張藩士たちを北海道に移住させるため、寒さや雪、過酷な自然と闘いながら、現在の八雲町を開拓しました。
長湫・岩作・上郷の3村のいざこざから要請された初代村長

初代・長久手村長の吉田知行(ともつら)
明治39年(1906年)、県知事から町村合併のための訓令で、長湫村、岩作村、上郷村を合併させ、否が応でも合併し村長を決めなくてはならない状況に。初代村長を誰にするか大きな議論に
さまざまな軋轢で初代村長が決まらななか白羽の矢がたったのが、長湫村、岩作村、上郷村のどこの村長でもなかった吉田知行(ともつら)でした
吉田知行は尾張藩主・徳川慶勝の側近中の側近で、維新後も北海道の八雲村の開拓を軌道に乗せた実績があり、関係者を通じて合併後の村長代理への就任を要請されました
吉田知行の父・吉田知紀の旧宅があった「中島の一番地」(長久手小学校から西に50m)に役場が設置されています
村長代理としての村の政経は困難続きで(長湫と岩作の対立など)、吉田知行もトラブルに巻き込まれます
結局、明治39年第二回村会議で吉田知行は正式に「初代村長」に選出されました
吉田知行の父・吉田知紀は、長久手に禄高400石の領(岩作に156石)を持ち、1873年に死去。

八雲町の町名の由来
徳川慶勝が、須佐之男命(すさのおのみこと)が詠んだという「八雲たつ 出雲八重垣 妻籠みに 八重垣作る その八重垣を」という古歌を元につけたもの

尾張藩藩主 徳川慶勝(1824〜1883)
尾張徳川家(尾張藩)第14代・第17代当主。明治維新後に議定、名古屋藩知事
明治維新から士族の多くは経済的困窮に陥り、旧藩士救済のために旧藩主・ 徳川慶勝が持金5万円で第十一国立銀行に加入、その利子費用を元手に北海道開拓を決意した
徳川慶勝は、王政復古とともに新政府の重職に就き、徳川か新政府かどちらに与するか決めかねていた多くの諸国大名に新政府率いる朝廷軍との不戦を説き伏せています

Thanks for revealing your ideas on this blog. In addition, a delusion regarding the banking institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosed is that the lender will not take my repayments. There is a degree of time that this bank will require payments from time to time. If you are too deep in the hole, they are going to commonly demand that you pay the payment in whole. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of installments at all. When you and the lender can find a way to work something out, the particular foreclosure process may stop. However, in the event you continue to pass up payments wih the new system, the foreclosure process can pick up from where it was left off.
Thanks for the strategies you are sharing on this blog. Another thing I’d prefer to say is always that getting hold of duplicates of your credit score in order to check accuracy of each and every detail may be the first motion you have to execute in credit repair.

The very heart of your writing whilst appearing reasonable initially, did not sit properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I however have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to fill in those breaks. In the event you can accomplish that, I could certainly be impressed.
A person essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to create this particular publish extraordinary. Wonderful job!
Things i have observed in terms of pc memory is there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must fit in with the technical specs of the mother board. If the pc’s motherboard is rather current while there are no main system issues, modernizing the memory space literally requires under a couple of hours. It’s one of the easiest laptop or computer upgrade methods one can visualize. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
I have taken notice that in cameras, extraordinary sensors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. The actual sensors with some surveillance cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others work with a beam involving infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lumination. Higher specification cameras often use a combination of both systems and probably have Face Priority AF where the video camera can ‘See’ any face and focus only on that. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this website.
I really believe that a home foreclosure can have a major effect on the debtor’s life. Home foreclosures can have a Six to a decade negative relation to a debtor’s credit report. A borrower that has applied for a mortgage or any kind of loans even, knows that the actual worse credit rating will be, the more challenging it is for any decent personal loan. In addition, it can affect a borrower’s chance to find a decent place to let or hire, if that becomes the alternative real estate solution. Great blog post.
