The origin of Shiza Zoshiki can be traced back to the Kotonari Zoshiki of the Samurai-dokoro who conducted the Kyoto inspections during the Muromachi Shogunate, but they were not incorporated into the lower ranks of the Kyoto ruling structure by the Edo Shogunate until 1601 (Keicho 6) when ITAKURA Katsushige assigned the Shiza the responsibility for the four directions. Originally there were only two clans, Ogino and Igarashi, but during the time of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, Matsuo and Matsumura were added.

…この事件は同年4月の明応の政変に影響を与え，山城国一揆とともに当時の支配層に恐怖感を植えつけたのである。この国一揆で須智氏，久下氏ら有力国人の多くは弾圧され，あるいは没落し，わずかに荻野氏ひとりが氷上郡に勢力を保った。　国一揆鎮圧後まもなく上原氏も細川内衆の対立から没落し，守護代には内藤氏が還補された。…
