Kawasoe-so

Japanese: 河副荘 - かわそえのしょう

This manor was located in Saka County, Hizen Province, and corresponds to the present-day Kawazoe-machi, Saga County, Saga Prefecture (now Saga City) and Kitakawazoe-machi, Saga City. According to the entry for July 20, 1130 in the Choshu-ki, the land of Yamashiro Saisho-ji Temple was to be paid an annual tribute of 2,000 koku of rice, but since the manor had only just been established, only 800 koku arrived. Later, the tidal flats in the south were turned into cultivated land, and by 1292 the manor had grown to a vast area of over 1,067 cho. During the Kamakura period, Oe Hiromoto and others were appointed as soji-jito (local land stewards), built Gokuraku-ji Temple within the manor, and donated 1 cho of land free from kerosene. At the end of the Kamakura period, it became the domain of the regent's son-in-law. Some historical documents refer to it as Kawazoe Honsho and Kawazoe Minami-Nanbu-Sho, and Kawazoe Honsho is the same as Kawazoe Kita-Sho, and was also called the Kita-Fuka branch of Kawazoe Sho. Kawasoe Minami-sho was the part of the southern tidal flats that was turned into cultivated land, corresponding to the current area of Kawasoe Town in Saga City, and was also called the southern part of Kawasoe Sho or Kawasoe Shin-sho.

肥前国佐嘉(さか)郡にあった荘園で，現在の佐賀県佐賀郡川副町（現・佐賀市）と佐賀市北川副町に比定される。《長秋記》大治５年(1130)７月20日条によると山城最勝寺領で，年額2000石の米を貢納することになっていたが，立荘されたばかりであったので800石しか到来しなかった。その後南部の干潟が耕地化し，1292年には1067丁余の広大な荘園となる。鎌倉時代大江広元らが惣地頭に補任され，荘内に極楽寺を建立，灯油免田１町を寄進している。鎌倉時代末期には得宗(とくそう)領化した。河副本荘・河副南北荘などと記される史料もあり，河副本荘は河副北荘と同一で，河副荘北方分ともよばれた。河副南荘は南部干潟が耕地化した部分で，現佐賀市川副町域に相当し，河副荘南方分あるいは河副新荘ともよばれた。
