Hitoyoshi-so

Japanese: 人吉荘 - ひとよしのしょう

This manor was located in Kuma County, Higo Province, and corresponds to the area around Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture today. According to the Kuma County Field Count Order of 1197, the number of fields (public fields) was 600 cho, the head office was Rengeo-in, the lord was Hachijo-in, the custodian was Nakahara Kiyonari, and the manor officials were the local powers of the county, such as the Hitoyoshi clan, the Sue clan, and the Kume clan. It is assumed that the forerunner of this manor was the Kuma Usumano Manor, which was removed from the Heike confiscated land by Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1184 and given to Taira no Yorimori. In addition, since the lord's side continued to call it Kuma Manor even after the manor was established, it is assumed that there was an imperial lord's land, Kuma Manor, which covered the entire county, before the manor was established. In 1205, Sagara Nagayori, a vassal of the Totomi Province, became a land steward and exerted his influence, but in 1244 the land stewardship was divided and the northern land stewardship went to the Hojo clan. According to a notice from the same year, in 1198, Honjo and Togo constituted the area of kishoden (a type of land that was requested by the shogun) with over 352 cho, and in 1212 an inspection revealed that the area of shieda (a type of land that was requested by the shogun) was over 111 cho. The kishoden and shieda were organized under the names of feudal lords, and there were about 70 lay people. In addition, tsukuda (a type of land that was not requested by the shogun) and various types of land for disposal were set for the kishoden. In the 14th century, the situation regarding the payment of annual taxes to the lord's house deteriorated, and during the Nanboku-cho period, the payment of taxes and official duties to the honjo and lord's house almost ceased, and the actual status of the manor was lost.

肥後国球磨(くま)郡に所在した荘園で，現在の熊本県人吉市一帯に比定される。1197年の球磨郡田数注文によれば，田数（公田数）600町，本所(ほんじょ)は蓮華王(れんげおう)院，領家は八条院，預所(あずかりどころ)は中原清業(きよなり)で，荘官は郡内の在地勢力人吉氏・須恵氏・久米氏などであった。1184年に源頼朝が平家没官領から除き平頼盛に安堵した〈球磨臼間野庄〉が前身と推測されている。また領家方が当荘成立後も球磨荘とよんでいることなどから，当荘成立以前に一郡的広がりをもった院領球磨荘があったものと推定される。1205年，遠江国の御家人相良(さがら)長頼が地頭となって勢力を張ったが，1244年に地頭職の中分がなされ，北方地頭職は北条(ほうじょう)氏のものとなった。同年の注進状によれば，1198年には本庄と東郷からなり起請田352町余，1212年の検注では出田111町余であった。起請田と出田は領主名に編成され，在家も70宇ほど存在した。また起請田には佃(つくだ)や各種除田が設定されていた。14世紀になると，領家への年貢納入状況が悪化し，南北朝期には本所・領家への所当・公事の納入はほとんど絶え，荘園としての実体は失われた。
