Setaka-so

Japanese: 瀬高荘 - せたかのしょう

A manor in Yamagata County, Chikugo Province (present-day Setaka Town and Mitsuhashi Town, Fukuoka Prefecture). The time of its establishment and the circumstances of its establishment are unknown. In 1131 (Tensho 1), it was divided into Kamisho and Shimosho, and Takao Betsufu was established for Shimosho. In the early 12th century, Chunagon Fujiwara Toshitada held the position of lord, but Shimosho was later passed on to his grandson, Tokudaiji Sadaijin Sanesada, who donated the main position to Taikenmon'in, and it was passed on to Enshoji. After the fall of the Taira clan, in 1186 (Bun'ei 2), the manor was obstructed by Amano Tokage, the magistrate of the Chinzei region, but Sanesada appealed to Yoritomo and overturned the obstruction. During the Kamakura period, Setakakamisho became the property of Myohoin Temple, and in 1273 (Bun'ei 10), both Kamisho and Shimosho became the tax offices for the construction of the lecture hall of Enryakuji Temple for a period of 10 years.

筑後国山門郡(現，福岡県瀬高町，三橋町)の荘園。立荘の時期，成立事情は不明。1131年(天承1)上･下荘に分かれ，下荘には鷹尾別符が成立した。12世紀初頭中納言藤原俊忠が領家職を有していたが，のち下荘は外孫の後徳大寺左大臣実定に渡り，実定より本家職が待賢門院に寄進され，円勝寺がこれを相伝した。平氏滅亡後1186年(文治2)には鎮西奉行天野遠景の押妨を受けたが，実定が頼朝に訴えてこれを退けた。鎌倉期に瀬高上荘は妙法院領となり，また1273年(文永10)には上･下荘とも10ヵ年を限り延暦寺の造講堂料所となった。
