Mikuni-shi family

Japanese: 三国司家 - さんこくしけ

A general term for the three families who managed their territories as provincial governors from the Nanboku-cho period to the end of the Warring States period. In the Unpo Irohashu and Teijyo Zatsuki, both written in 1548 (Tenbun 17), the Anenokoji clan, governor of Hida province, the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise province, and the Ichinomiya clan, governor of Awa province, are referred to as the three provincial governors. In the Ashikaga Kiseiki, a war chronicle that is also considered to have a relatively high historical value, the Tosa Ichijo clan is listed in addition to the Anenokoji and Kitabatake clans. In the Koyo Gunkan, which was compiled in the early Edo period, the three provincial governors are referred to as Ise, Iyo, and Oshu, and there are differences depending on the book.

南北朝期から戦国末年にかけて，それぞれの国の国司として，領国経営を行った三家の総称。1548年(天文17)の述作という《運歩色葉集（うんぽいろはしゆう）》や《貞丈雑記（ていじようざつき）》などでは，飛驒国司姉小路氏，伊勢国司北畠氏，阿波国司一宮氏を三国司と称し，また合戦記ながら史料的価値も比較的高いとされる《足利季世記（あしかがきせいき）》では，姉小路氏，北畠氏に加えて土佐一条氏を挙げている。また江戸初期に成立した《甲陽軍鑑（こうようぐんかん）》などでは，伊勢，伊予，奥州を称するなど，諸書によって異同がある。
