Kaseda Manor

Japanese: 桛田荘 - かせだのしょう

A manor in Ito District, Kii Province (present-day Katsuragi Town, Ito District, Wakayama Prefecture). Also written as Kasada Manor. It was established as the territory of the retired Emperor Sutoku in 1147 (Kyuan 3), but it seems that it was confiscated the following year and reverted to public territory. Then in the second half of the 12th century, it became the property of Rengeoin (Sanjusangendo) in Kyoto, a temple built by Taira no Kiyomori for the retired Emperor Goshirakawa. In 83 (Juei 2), at the strong request of Mongaku, who worked hard to restore Jingo-ji Temple, it was donated by the retired Emperor Goshirakawa to Jingo-ji Temple, and was established the following year in 84 (Genryaku 1). From then on, it is thought to have been Jingo-ji Temple property throughout the Middle Ages, and Jingo-ji Temple has a famous map of Kasada Manor that is believed to have been created at the time of the establishment.

紀伊国伊都郡(現，和歌山県伊都郡かつらぎ町)の荘園。笠田荘とも書く。1147年(久安3)崇徳上皇領として立荘されたが，翌年には収公されて公領にもどったらしい。ついで12世紀後半に平清盛が造進した後白河上皇の御願寺，京の蓮華王院(三十三間堂)領となっている。83年(寿永2)神護寺再興に奔走した文覚（もんがく）の強い要請によって，後白河上皇から神護寺に寄進され，翌84年(元暦1)立券された。以後，中世を通じて神護寺領と思われ，神護寺には立券の際に作成されたと推定される著名な桛田荘絵図が伝来する。
