was the name for ancient administrative units organized in Japan during the Asuka Period (AD 538–710), as part of a legal and governmental system borrowed from the Chinese.〔Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "''Goki-shichidō''" in .〕 Though these units did not survive as administrative structures beyond the Muromachi Period (1336–1573), they did remain important geographical entities up until the 19th century.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 The Gokishichidō consisted of five provinces in the Kinai (畿内) or capital region, plus seven ''dō'' (道) or circuits, each of which contained provinces of its own. When Hokkaido was included as a circuit after the defeat of the Republic of Ezo in 1869, the system was briefly called until the abolition of the ''han'' system in 1871. ==Five Provinces== The five Kinai provinces were local areas in and around the imperial capital (first Heijō-kyō at Nara, then Heian-kyō at Kyōto). They were: *Yamato Province (now Nara Prefecture) *Yamashiro Province (now the southern part of Kyōto Prefecture, including the city of Kyōto) *Kawachi Province (now the southeastern part of Osaka Prefecture) *Settsu Province (now the northern part of Osaka Prefecture, including the city of Osaka, and parts of Hyōgo Prefecture) *Izumi Province (now the southern part of Osaka Prefecture) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gokishichidō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
