Chimori-sho

A manor belonging to Todaiji Temple in Asuwa County, Echizen Province. It corresponds to the area around the confluence of the Asuwa River and Hino River in the west of Fukui City today. In 749 (Tenpyo Shoho 1), the temple was granted permission to own reclaimed land, and the land was designated by the Todaiji field envoy, and in around 756, 100 cho of reclaimed land was donated by Ikue no Azumahito, the head of Asuwa County. In the 950 (Tenryaku 4) "Todaiji Fuko Manor and Temple Use Register," it appears to be 326 cho, 2 tan, 55 bu. Shortly after its establishment, the temple land was encroached upon by surrounding farmers and others due to Fujiwara no Nakamaro's policy of restricting the land, and some of it was made public land. The existence of this manor was part of the national economic reconstruction plan that was being implemented at the time. After that, the management was reconstructed and the unification was promoted through confiscation, exchange, and purchase. The Echizen kokushi's release from 766 (Tenpyo Jingo 2) and the map of the land development are preserved in Shosoin.

越前国足羽郡(あすわぐん)にあった東大寺領の荘。現在の福井市西部、足羽川・日野川の合流点一帯に比定される。749年（天平勝宝1）寺院に対する墾田地所有許可を受けて、東大寺野占使(やせんし)によって点定(てんじょう)された野地と、756年頃に足羽郡大領(たいりょう)生江東人(いくえのあずまひと)から寄進された墾田100町とからなる。950年（天暦4）の「東大寺封戸(ふうこ)荘園并寺用帳(ならびにじようちょう)」では326町2段55歩とみえる。成立後まもなく藤原仲麻呂(なかまろ)による寺田抑制政策のために寺田は周辺農民などによって蚕食され、一部は公田化された。この荘の実体は、おりから進められた国家の経済の再建策の一端である。その後経営再建が図られ、没収、相替(あいかえ)、買得(ばいとく)によって一円化が進められた。766年（天平神護2）の越前国司解(げ)と、開田図が正倉院に残っている。
