==History==
[[File:Hamaguri Plaza ac (9).jpg|thumb|''[[Corbicula japonica|Shijimi]]'' clams being sold in Kuwana. The city is historically known for its clams]]
During the late [[Heian period]] and [[Muromachi period]], the area of modern Kuwana was known as {{nihongo|Juraku-no-tsu|十楽の津||}} and was a major seaport on the east coast of Japan, controlled by a guild of merchants. The poet Socho described it in 1515 as a major city with over a thousand houses, temples and inns. During the [[Sengoku period]], the area came under the control of the warlord [[Oda Nobunaga]]. The [[Sieges of Nagashima]] took place in 1571, 1573 and 1574, finally resulting in the destruction of the [[Ikkō-ikki]] by Nobunaga's forces. After Nobunaga's death, the area came under the control of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], who initially installed Nobunaga's younger son [[Oda Nobukatsu]] as ruler as all of [[Ise Province]]. However, following the [[Siege of Odawara (1590)|Battle of Odawara]], Hideyoshi demoted Oda Nobukatsu, divided Ise Province into several domains, was assigned to [[Ujiie Yukihiro]] as a 22,000 ''[[koku]]'' domain in 1595. Ujiie Yukihiro sided with the pro-Toyotomi armies in the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] and was dispossessed by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].<ref name="Kuwana2-hp">{{cite web |url=https://www.city.kuwana.lg.jp/index.cfm/30,0,249,htmll|title= Kuwana city history|location= Japan|language= ja}}</ref>
