Masterpiece House - Natenoshou

Japanese: 名手荘 - なてのしょう

This manor was located on the north bank of the Kinokawa River in Naka County, Kii Province, in Naka-cho and Kokawa-cho in Wakayama Prefecture (both towns are now Kinokawa City). It was originally an inherited territory of Fujiwara no Yorisada, but when Yorisada failed in management, he donated it to Yamashiro Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine, and it was established as a manor in 1064. However, in 1072 (Enkyu 4), the manor was suspended. In 1107, it was established again as a manor for the Great Pagoda Buddha Saint Lamp Oil Supply Station of Mt. Koya, and was maintained as one of the properties of Konponji Temple of Mt. Koya until the end of the Middle Ages. When it was established as the property of Mt. Koya, it had more than 41 cho of rice fields and 82 cho of farmland, but only 3 cho of rice fields and 12 cho of farmland were used for viewing, and the majority of the land was occupied by Tashiro and Hatashiro (areas scheduled for development). In 1432, more than 300 years later, the area had grown to 85 cho of rice paddies and 12 cho of farmland. During this development, there was a fierce dispute with Nyuya Village, a territory of Kokawa Temple, over the Minami River (now the Nade River) that flows along the western border of the manor. Throughout the Middle Ages, the manor consisted of five villages (Egawa Village, Nogami Village, Umashuku Village, Naka Village, and Nishi Village), and in 1432 the number of rice paddies and households in each village was 14 cho and 8 u in Egawa Village, 18 cho and 27 u in Nogami Village, 21 cho and 24 u in Umashuku Village, 14 cho and 4 u in Naka Village, and 15 cho and 6 u in Nishi Village. The reason why the number of households is significantly higher in Nogami and Umashuku is probably because these two villages, located on the middle terrace of the left bank of the Minami River, were developed early on. The villa is located along the Kii-oji (Yamato Kaido), the successor to the Nankaido, and the city was established in the mid-13th century.

紀伊国那賀(なか)郡の紀ノ川北岸，和歌山県那賀(なが)町・粉河(こかわ)町(２町とも現・紀の川市)にあった荘園。もと藤原頼貞の相伝所領であったが，経営に失敗した頼貞が山城石清水(いわしみず)八幡宮に寄進，1064年立荘された。しかし1072年（延久４年）の荘園整理令で停止となる。1107年高野(こうや)山の大塔仏聖灯油料所として改めて立荘され，以後高野山の根本寺領の一つとして中世末まで維持された。高野山領としての立荘時には田41町余・畠82町余であったが，うち見作(げんさく)は田３町余・畠12町余にすぎず，大部分は田代(たしろ)・畠代（開発予定地）が占めている。これが300年余を経た1432年の検注では田85町余・畠12町余に増大している。この開発の過程で当荘の西境を流れる水無川（現名手川）をめぐって粉河(こかわ)寺領丹生屋(にうのや)村と激しい用水・境相論を繰り広げた。当荘は中世を通じて５村（江川村・野上村・馬宿村・中村・西村）で構成されており，1432年の各村の田積，在家(ざいけ)数は，江川村14町余・８宇，野上村18町余・27宇，馬宿村21町余・24宇，中村14町余・４宇，西村15町余・６宇。在家数が野上・馬宿の二村に著しく多いのは，水無川左岸の中位段丘面に位置する両村が，早くから開発が進んだためであろう。なお当荘は南海道の後身である紀伊大路（大和街道）に沿い，13世紀の半ばには市が成立していた。
