Manor records - Shoenshiryo

Japanese: 荘園志料 - しょうえんしりょう

Compiled by Shimizu Masatake (1856-1934). Born in Mito, Shimizu became a disciple of Kurita Hiroshi, the last scholar to compile the Dai Nihonshi and the author of Shoen-Ko, and entered the Shokokan in 1882, where he worked on the revision of the Dai Nihonshi. After leaving the institution in 1896, he continued his research on his own while teaching, completing this book in 1921, which covers all the manors in various provinces by prefecture and district, and cites relevant historical materials for each one. It was published in 1933 with the support of the Keimei-kai (republished by Kadokawa Shoten in 1965). Shimizu believed that the development of manors was a detriment to the Emperor's control over the land and the people, and attempted to investigate the true nature of manors from that perspective.

清水正健(1856‐1934)編。水戸に生まれ，《大日本史》編修の最後の学者で《荘園考》をまとめた栗田寛の門に入った清水は，1882年彰考館に入り，《大日本史》志類の校訂に従事した。96年同館を辞したのち，教壇に立ちつつ独力で研究を進め，諸国の荘園を国郡別に網羅，その個々について関係史料をあげた本書を1921年に完成し，33年啓明会の援助を得て刊行した(65年，角川書店再刊)。清水は荘園の発達が天皇による土地人民支配に対する弊害になったととらえ，その視点から荘園の本質を究明しようとした。
