General Pursuer - Sotsuibushi

Japanese: 惣追捕使 - そうついぶし

Military prosecutors were appointed by Minamoto no Yoritomo in various central and western provinces in pursuit of the Taira clan, and after imperial permission in 1185, throughout the country, together with the jito, in the name of pursuing Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Some were appointed one per province, while others were appointed on a manor-by-man basis, but the former were the same entity as the shugo, and the title of sotsuiboshi was an indicator for gaining approval from the Imperial Court, and it is believed that it was changed to shugo after the pursuit of Yoshitsune was completed. The latter existed as individual manors, and some manors remained throughout the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. → Tsuiboushi → Related topics Ushihara Manor | Oyake Manor | Kunijito

源頼朝が平家追討中西国諸国に，1185年勅許後は源義経追討名目で地頭とともに全国に設置した軍事検察官。国ごとに１員ずつ置かれたものと荘園単位に置かれたものがあるが，前者は守護と同一実体で，惣追捕使の称は朝廷の認可を得るための指標で，義経追討終了後に守護の称に換えられたとの見方がある。後者は個別荘園の存在だったから鎌倉・室町時代を通して残った荘園もある。→追捕使
