was an old province in the area that is today northern Kyoto Prefecture facing the Sea of Japan.〔Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "''Tango''" in .〕 Together with Tamba Province, Tango was sometimes called . Tango bordered on Tajima, Tamba, and Wakasa provinces. At various times both Maizuru and Miyazu were the capital and chief town of the province. ==History== In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the ''Wadō'' era (713), the land of Tango Province was administratively separated from Tamba Province. In that same year, Empress Gemmei's ''Daijō-kan'' continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara period. In ''Wadō'' 6, Mimasaka Province was sundered from Bizen Province, and Hyūga Province was divided from Ōsumi Province.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 In ''Wadō 5'' (712), Mutsu Province had been severed from Dewa Province.〔 Maps of Japan and Tango Province were reformed in the 1870s when the prefecture system was introduced.〔Nussbaum, ("Provinces and prefectures" ) at p. 780.〕 At the same time, the province continued to exist for some purposes. For example, Tango is explicitly recognized in treaties in 1894 (a) between Japan and the United States and (b) between Japan and the United Kingdom.〔US Department of State. (1906). ( ''A digest of international law as embodied in diplomatic discussions, treaties and other international agreements'' (John Bassett Moore, ed.), Vol. 5, p. 759 ).〕 The 1927 Kita Tango earthquake caused major damage in the region and killed around 3,000 people. This area is still known as Tango Peninsula, some parts of it are in Tango Quasi-National Park. A town in this region was likewise named ''Tango''. It is now defunct and part of Kyōtango (''Kyō'' + ''Tango'') since 2004. 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「Tango Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
