Sugawara Manor - Sugawara no Sho

Japanese: 菅原荘 - すがわらのしょう

This is the oldest manor in the territory of Kitano-sha (Kitano Tenmangu) in Kyoto, located in the area of Sugawara and Suginoya in Shio-cho (now Hōdatsu Shimizu-cho), Ishikawa Prefecture, Hakui County, Noto Province. It was originally the private land of resident Hiroyuki, but was donated to the Kokuga (provincial government office) in exchange for exemption from paying official tribute. In 1114, Noto no Kami Fujiwara no Motoyori donated it to Kitano-sha as a place of constant lighting, and it was established. According to the donation letter from that time, the donated land of Sugawara Yasu was 50 cho, of which 20 cho was Gensaku and 30 cho was Aranya. This donation letter is considered an important historical document for understanding the establishment and nature of the manors that were donated. Nagakatsu, the executive officer of Kitano-sha, who received the donation, issued a certificate for Sugawara Manor for constant lighting use of 20 koku. However, according to the 1221 "Noto no Kuni Ota Bun," the land was established in 1185, and the number of fields was over 23 cho. In August 1304, when the shrine building was destroyed by a heavy rainstorm, it became a construction fee office in the same year. Furthermore, from the 1360s onwards, it became a "Joshiki no Shinryo" (shrine territory) with a "three-year one-year fee office," and the land holdings of the head of the Sugawara family and the shrine affairs were divided in half. However, both the head and shrine affairs portions were eventually transferred to Shobai-in, one of the three families of shrine officials who served Kitano Shrine under Manshu-in, the head priest of Kitano Shrine, and at the end of the 14th century, it became one yen land holding of the same temple. After that, it maintained its land holdings until the end of the Middle Ages, despite repeated requests for land from the magistrate and direct management, and suffering from the seizure of land by the shugo and the failure to pay taxes from local lords.

能登国羽咋(はくい)郡，現石川県志雄(しお)町（現・宝達志水町）菅原・杉野屋(すぎのや)一帯にあった京都北野社（北野天満宮）領の最古の荘園。もと住人弘行の私領であったが，官物(かんもつ)貢納免除の代償として国衙(こくが)に寄進，これを能登守藤原基頼が1114年北野社に常灯料所として寄進して成立。このときの寄進状によると寄進された〈菅原保〉は50町で，うち見作(げんさく)20町，荒野30町。なおこの寄進状は寄進地系荘園の成立や性格を知る重要な史料とされる。寄進をうけた北野社の執行(しぎょう)永勝は常灯用途20石の菅原荘を立券。ただし1221年の〈能登国大田文〉によると立券は1185年で，田数は23町余。1304年８月の大風雨によって倒壊した社殿修造を契機に，同年から造営料所となった。さらに1360年代以降は〈三年一請会料所〉として〈重色之神領〉となり，菅家長者と社務の知行分は２分の１に分割された。しかしやがて長者分・社務分とも北野社別当曼殊(まんしゅ)院の下で北野社に奉仕する祠官三家の一，松梅(しょうばい)院の手に渡り，14世紀末には同院の一円知行となった。以後代官請と直務(じきむ)を繰り返し，また守護の押領や在地領主の年貢未進に苦しみながらも中世末期まで維持した。
