Nagashimaso - Nagashima no Sho

Japanese: 長島荘 - ながしまのしょう

This manor was owned by Kyoto Rengeo-in Temple in Kishima County, Hizen Province, and corresponds to the area of present-day Omachi Town and Takeo City in Saga Prefecture. In the 951 Takeo Shrine Land Survey, the eastern limit is listed as "Nagashima Oji Chinsai-kuma." Takeo Shrine was the general guardian deity of the county and was located in the center of the manor area. The inscription on the back of the Yakushi Nyorai statue at Kankiji Temple in Takeo City reads "Nagashima Manor Io-ji Temple Joan 2nd Year October," indicating that the manor was established before 1172. It is believed to have been donated around 1164 when Rengeo-in Temple was built. Around 1292, the manor had an area of 1,517 cho. At first, a general executive officer was appointed as the manor official, but around 1226 Nakahara Suetoki became the general land steward. In 1237, Tachibana Satsuma Kinnari was appointed as the sojijito (general land steward). It is thought that the area was later included in Tsukasakisho, which was established around the 14th century, but the 1590 red seal document by Toyotomi Hideyoshi states that Nagashimasho had an area of 3,379 koku, and the name of the manor remained until the end of the Sengoku period.

肥前国杵島(きしま)郡にあった京都蓮華王(れんげおう)院領の荘園で，現佐賀県大町町および武雄(たけお)市一帯に比定される。951年の武雄社領四至実検状に東限として〈長嶋大路鎮祭隈〉とみえる。武雄社は郡の惣鎮守で，荘域中央部に位置した。武雄市歓喜(かんげ)寺の薬師如来像背銘に〈長嶋庄　医王寺　承安弐年十月〉とみえ，承安２年(1172)以前に成立していた。蓮華王院が造営された1164年ころに寄進されたと考えられる。1292年ころの当荘の面積は1517丁。初めは荘官として惣執行職が置かれたが，1226年ころには中原季時が惣地頭となっている。1237年には橘薩摩公業が惣地頭に補任された。その後は14世紀ころに成立した塚崎荘に含まれたとも思われるが，1590年の豊臣秀吉朱印状に長島荘3379石余とあり，荘名は戦国末期まで残っていた。
