Takeno-so

Japanese: 竹野荘 - たかののしょう

This manor was located in Takeno District, Chikugo Province (present-day Tanushimaru Town, Ukiha District, Fukuoka Prefecture). In 1026 (Manju 3), Usa Hachiman Shrine's Moribe Manor was established as a result of the transfer of land from Honjo. Subsequent development led to the establishment of Takeno Shinjo, and the old Takeno Manor came to be called Takeno Honjo. Shinjo consisted of four districts, Togo, Saigo, Kahoku, and Yamamoto, and was the territory of Emperor Toba, but was donated to Saidaiji Shioin by Emperor Fushimi at the end of the Kamakura period. The Kusano clan, the local governor of Chikugo, were the largest local lords in the manor, holding the positions of Kahoku-go Sokomonshiki and Oshoryoshishi, but because the Hojo clan held the position of Sojito, after the downfall of the Hojo clan, the Kenmu government granted it to Saidaiji, and Ashikaga Takauji further guaranteed it.

Japanese:

筑後国竹野郡(現，福岡県浮羽郡田主丸町)にあった荘園。1026年(万寿3)本荘からの出作加納により宇佐八幡宮領守部荘が成立した。その後の開発により竹野新荘が成立したため，旧来の竹野荘は竹野本荘と呼ばれた。新荘は東郷，西郷，河北郷，山本郷の4郷から成り，鳥羽院領であったが，鎌倉末に伏見天皇によって西大寺四王院へ施入された。筑後の在国司草野氏が当荘最大の在地領主で，河北郷惣公文職，押領使職等を帯していたが，北条氏が惣地頭職を有していたため，北条氏滅亡後，建武政府はこれを西大寺に安堵し，さらに足利尊氏がこれを保障した。
