Tomoda-so

Japanese: 鞆田荘 - ともたのしょう

This manor was located in the mountains of northern Iga, in the Tomoda River basin. It is believed to have originally been a village formed by the development of the wilderness within Yufune-sho, but in the mid-11th century, it was incorporated into Tamataki Soma, a Todaiji temple property, when its residents became its owners. In the second half of the 11th century, the power of the Ise Taira clan spread, and in 1097 (Shotoku 1), more than 15 cho of fields and family land within the village were certified as Rokujo-in land based on a donation by Taira Masamori. From this point on, there was continuous dispute between the Taira clan, who tried to organize the surrounding residents and expand the manor area, and Todaiji, who claimed it as temple land.

伊賀北部の山間，鞆田川流域に所在した荘園。元来湯船荘内の荒野が開発されてできた村とみられるが，11世紀中葉住人らの東大寺領玉滝杣寄人化にともない，同杣の内に組み込まれた。11世紀後半には伊勢平氏の勢力が浸透，1097年(承徳1)平正盛の寄進にもとづき，村内の畠･家地15町余が六条院領として立券され，これ以降，周辺住人の組織化を進め荘域の拡大をはかった平氏と，寺領だと主張する東大寺との間で相論が続く。
