Kanokogi-so

A manor located in Akita County, Higo Province. Its territory covers the northern part of Kumamoto City and part of Goshi City. It began in 1086 (Otoku 3) when Takakata, the grandson of Shami Jumyo, the lord of Konpon, donated his estate to Fujiwara Sanetsune, the second Dazai. In 1139 (Hōen 5), it was given the title of Rikken Shogo. The title was passed down to the Crown Prince's Minister Fujiwara Kinzane and his son-in-law, Dainagon Fujiwara Tsunezane, but in the generation of his son Takamichi, the Kokushi (provincial governor) often interfered with the title, so first, they donated 200 koku of the 400 koku annual tax to Princess Koyoin to seek protection, and the title was later passed down to Shokotokuin, the temple of Koyoin's family, and then to Ninnaji, as the main family. Then, in 1171 (Joan 1), the title was re-established by Emperor Goshirakawa through the daughter of Taira no Kiyomori, Kenshunmon'in. After that, it was the subject of several disputes, including with the Takakata lineage that had inherited the position of land steward, but in the Kamakura period, it seems that the powerful noble Horikawa Genji clan, who inherited the rights of the lineage of Kenshunmon'in and Goshirakawa, held the actual authority over the manor. During the Kamakura period, it was divided into Higashi and Nishi Sho, with smaller units such as myo and mura within it, and several land stewards and vassals, including the Takuma clan, a branch of the Otomo clan, were entrenched there. It is unclear what the actual situation was as a manor after the mid-15th century.

肥後(ひご)国飽田(あきた)郡にあった荘園。熊本市北部と、合志(ごうし)市の一部を荘域とする。1086年（応徳3）根本(こんぽん)領主である沙弥(しゃみ)寿妙(じゅみょう)の孫高方(たかかた)が、大宰大弐(だざいのだいに)藤原実政(さねつね)にその所領を寄進したことに始まる。1139年（保延5）立券荘号(りっけんしょうごう)。春宮大夫(とうぐうだいぶ)藤原公実(きんざね)、婿の大納言(だいなごん)藤原経実(つねざね)と伝領したが、その子隆通(たかみち)の代に至り国司(こくし)からたびたび干渉されたため、まず領家年貢(りょうけねんぐ)400石中200石余を割いて高陽院(かやのいん)内親王に寄進し庇護(ひご)を求め、その権利はのちに本家として高陽院の菩提(ぼだい)所勝功徳院(しょうこうとくいん)さらに仁和寺(にんなじ)に受け継がれた。続いて1171年（承安1）平清盛(きよもり)の娘建春門院(けんしゅんもんいん)を介し後白河院(ごしらかわいん)から再立券を受けた。その後地頭預所職(じとうあずかりどころしき)を伝領していた高方の系統も含め数度係争の対象となるが、鎌倉期は、建春門院―後白河院の系統の権利を受け継いだ有力貴族堀川(ほりかわ)源氏が、実質的に荘務権を握っていたらしい。鎌倉期には東・西荘に分かれ、内部に名(みょう)・村などの小単位があり、大友(おおとも)氏の一族詫間(たくま)氏ほか、複数の地頭(じとう)・御家人(ごけにん)が蟠踞(ばんきょ)していた。15世紀中葉以降の荘園としての実態は不明。
