Takaba House

Japanese: 高庭荘 - たかばのしょう

This manor was located in Takakusa County, Inaba Province (present-day Tottori City). It originated in 756 (Tenpyo Shoho 8) when Todaiji field occupant Tairaei and others, with the cooperation of the provincial governor and the local powerful clan, Kuni no Miyatsuko Naiwa, seized land under imperial tribute. The land area was 67 cho 9 tan (but 3 cho 9 tan was open to the public), but in 765 (Tenpyo Jingo 1), 5 cho 8 tan of land for sale by Kuni no Miyatsuko Naiwa, who had been reclaimed land, was added, bringing the total area to 73 cho 8 tan. However, in 801 (Enryaku 20), Todaiji Sanzuna sold 55 cho 1 tan to Councillor Fujiwara no Nawanushi for 4,000 soku, and in 803, 12 cho 8 tan was sold to Inaba no Kami Fujiwara no Fujitsugu for 1,000 soku.
