built in the Asuka period (592–710). The nameappears in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient
Matters) and the Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles
of Japan). In the course of history, the reservoir was repaired in projects led by historical figures, such as Gyoki in the Nara period(710–794), Chogen in the Kamakura period(1185–1333), and Katagiri Katsumoto in the
Edo period (1603–1868), using the latest technologies of the day. Preserved for as long as
1,400 years through great efforts by many people in the downstream areas and the region,
Sayama Pond was designated as a national

Tip

MAP F-6

During the Sengoku (warring states) period (1467–1615), the Hojo clan was the
sengoku daimyo (feudal lord) who was based at Odawara Castle and dominated the Kanto area. Of the five successive heads, who are called “Hojo Godai,”
Ujinori, younger brother of Ujimasa, the fourth generation head, was allowed to govern the Kawachi-Sayama area after the Battleof Odawara. His son, Ujimori, became the first feudal lord of the Sayama-han (feudal domain) Hojo clan. Ujinobu, the second feudal
lord, built a manor house near Sayama Pond. The clan governed the Kawachi and Omi areas as the feudal lord with 10,000 koku
(a metric for evaluating the scale of a feudal domain) for 12 generations until the Meiji Restoration. At present, there is a monumentof the former site of the Sayama-han manor house complex at the former site of the residence which was used by the feudal lord.
