Tominaga-so

Japanese: 富永荘 - とみながのしょう

A manor located in Ika County, Omi Province. The manor area stretched from Takatsuki-cho to Kinomoto-cho in Shiga Prefecture (both have been merged and are now Nagahama City). In the Kamakura period, it was the property of Enryaku-ji Temple, and within the manor there was a foundation for the Meshitsugi (a position for servants of the emperor). The manor was governed by three lines: the manor lord - Somandokoro (administrator) - Daikan (deputy governor) - Nakaji, the Kanjoshu (accountant) - Somandokoro - Nakaji, and the Sanmon envoy - Somandokoro - Nakaji, and it seems that within the Enryaku-ji territory the Sanmon envoy had authority equivalent to that of a shugo (military governor). There were manor officials in various villages within the manor, such as Amemori, Iguchi, and Doganji, and each village formed its own soson (village). A large number of documents have been preserved at Iguchi Hiyoshi Shrine within the manor, which reveal a variety of aspects of the area, such as the taxes imposed when Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi visited Enryaku-ji Temple in 1421, the laborers working to repair the temple, a dispute over an irrigation well in 1422, peasants' requests for exemptions following poor harvests, cases of illegal logging and murder, and the activities of loan sharks.

Japanese:

近江国伊香(いか)郡に置かれた荘園。現滋賀県高月町から木之本町域（いずれも合併し，現在は長浜市）にわたる荘域。鎌倉期に延暦(えんりゃく)寺領としてみえ，荘内には院に奉仕する召次(めしつぎ)の下地があった。当荘の支配は，荘園領主−惣政所(そうまんどころ)−代官−中司，勘定衆−惣政所−中司，山門(さんもん)使節−惣政所−中司という三つの系統によって行われ，山門使節延暦寺領内では守護に準ずる権限をもっていたようである。荘内の雨森・井口・渡岸寺(どうがんじ)など諸郷には荘官がいて，郷ごとに惣村が形成されていた。荘内の井口日吉神社には多数の文書が残され，1421年の将軍足利義持の延暦寺参籠にあたっての賦課，同寺修理の人夫役，1422年の用水井をめぐる相論，凶作に伴う百姓らの免除願い，山林の盗伐や殺害事件，また高利貸しの活動など多様な側面をうかがうことができる。
