【貝塚・嶋村】被差別部落と呼ばれた食肉のムラ 大阪府貝塚市　[Kaizuka/Shimamura] A meat village that suffered from discrimination

Kaizuka City, Osaka Prefecture Meat is one of the representative Buraku industries. Its history is long. When Buddhism, which forbade killing living things, was introduced in the 6th century, the idea that slaughter and eating meat were unclean spread. Since modern times, the settlement areas of people who have suffered discrimination have been called burakus, and their livelihoods have been inherited. The meat industry has been subject to discrimination due to the belief in impurity. Walk through the meat village of Shimamura, where the history of slaughter came to an end. Kaizuka Station (Nankai Electric Railway) Kaizuka City is located in the Sennan region of southern Osaka Prefecture. The eastern part of the city has historically flourished in the meat industry. The livelihood of the east district of Kaizuka City, known as “Shimamura,” has its origins in the village industry of disposing of dead cows and horses. Slaughtering begins with knocking the cow between the eyebrows with a special hammer to stun it. The atmosphere in the slaughterhouse is tense. The moment Shinji brought the hammer down, the cow’s body collapsed. In order to eat the cow, we receive its life, and then we work to make the most of that life. That is slaughter. During the Edo period, the right to dispose of dead cows and horses was called the right to acquire cows and horses or the right to kill horses. Because of the tendency to avoid impurity, the rights to grass fields were monopolized by the discriminated against. Slaughtering and leather processing became the livelihoods of the discriminated people. Shima Village had four types of grasslands, and it became a village where cows and horses were taken in, and the village made leather, drums, setta, and other hides, and meat. People are kept alive by receiving life. Cow’s flesh becomes a human body. Living means connecting lives. That’s why I’ve been grateful to the cows and done this work with pride. Slaughtering begins with hitting the cow between the eyebrows with a special hammer. The cow’s body collapses weakly and takes its life. After draining all the blood from the cow and completing the exsanguination, remove the skin. Cows have nothing to throw away, from their innards to their skin, except for their cries. The slaughterhouse that supported Kaizuka’s meat industry was closed in 2012, and now the Beast Soul Monument stands quietly in a large vacant lot. In the area known as Shimamura, housing complexes and abandoned houses waiting to be demolished stand out. A few meat retailers remain open as remnants of the past. Shimamura supported the distribution of meat, which is indispensable to modern dining tables. Cows are no longer seen being taken from the barn to the slaughterhouse.
