Suita Manor - Suitanosho

Japanese: 吹田荘 - すいたのしょう

A manor in Shimashimo-gun, Settsu Province (present-day southern Suita City). Prince Motosada, son of Emperor Junna, awarded over 63 cho of land near Suita and donated it to Seijuji Temple, a branch temple of Daigoji Temple, in 865 (Jogan 7), and the Suita East and West Manors of Seijuji Temple were established. Rice, chimaki, mochi, straw, miscellaneous sweets, and seawater transportation were collected from the manor's inhabitants. However, it declined during the Kamakura period, and was replaced by the Saionji family land and the Kofukuji land. Katsuo-ji Temple also obtained a permanent name and a tadokoro position, but was absorbed into the Kofukuji land in 1266 (Bun'ei 3). The Saionji family owned Suita West Manor during Kintsune's reign and established Suita Dono as a place of leisure, but it is unclear what became of it after the Nanboku-cho period.

摂津国島下郡(現，吹田市南部)の荘園。淳和天皇の皇子基貞親王が，吹田付近の賜田63町余を立券して865年(貞観7)に醍醐寺末の清住寺に寄進し，清住寺領吹田東西荘が成立した。荘民から米，粽，餅，藁，雑菓子や海水運搬役などを収取した。しかし鎌倉期には衰退し，代わって西園寺家領や興福寺領が成立した。勝尾寺も恒久名や田所職を入手したが，1266年(文永3)に興福寺領に併呑された。西園寺家は，公経のとき吹田西荘を領有し，吹田殿を設けて遊行地としたが，南北朝期以降は明らかでない。
