History
Musashi had its ancient capital in modern FuchÅ«, Tokyo, and its provincial temple in what is now Kokubunji, Tokyo. By the Sengoku period, the main city was Edo, which became the dominant city of eastern Japan. Edo Castle was the headquarters of Tokugawa IeyasuWEB, Map of BushÅ« Toshima District, Edo,www.wdl.org/en/item/9931, World Digital Library, 6 May 2013, before the Battle of Sekigahara and became the dominant city of Japan during the Edo period, being renamed Tokyo during the Meiji Restoration.Hikawa-jinja was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of the province; “Nationwide List of Ichinomiya,” p. 3.; retrieved 2011-08-09 and there are many branch shrines.Nussbaum, “Hikawa-jinja” at {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|p. 311|page=311}}.The former province gave its name to the battleship {{ship|Japanese battleship|Musashi||2}} of the Second World War.Timeline of important events
- 534 (Ankan 1, 12th month): The Yamato court sends a military force to appoint Omi as the governor of Musashi Province, his rival, Wogi was executed by the court. Omi presented four districts of Musashi Province to the court as royal estates.BOOK, Hall, John, Jansen, Marius, Kanai, Madoka, Twitchett, Denis, The Cambridge History of Japan, 1: Ancient Japan, 1st, The Cambridge History of Japan,
- July 18, 707 (Keiun 4, 15th day of the 6th month): Empress Genmei is enthroned at the age of 48.Brown, Delmer M. (1979). GukanshÅ, p. 271.
- 707 (Keiun 4): Copper was reported to have been found in Musashi province in the region which includes modern day Tokyo.Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). {{Google books|18oNAAAAIAAJ|Annales des empereurs du japon, p. 63.|page=63}}
- 708 (Keiun 5): The era name was about to be changed to mark the accession of Empress Genmei; but the choice of WadÅ as the new nengÅ for this new reign became a way to mark the welcome discovery of copper in the Chichibu District of what is now Saitama Prefecture. The Japanese word for copper is dÅ (é ); and since this was indigenous copper, the “wa” (the ancient Chinese term for Japan) could be combined with the “dÅ” (copper) to create a new composite termâ“wadÅ”âmeaning “Japanese copper”.
- May 5, 708 (WadÅ 1, 11th day of the 4th month): A sample of the newly discovered Musashi copper was presented in Genmei’s Court where it was formally acknowledged as Japanese copper. The WadÅ era is famous for the first Japanese coin (ååéç, wadokaiho or wadokaichin).
