Hinomaki House

Japanese: 檜牧荘 - ひのまきのしょう

A manor in Uda County, Yamato Province (present-day Haibara Town, Nara Prefecture). Also known as Himaki no Sho. It included over seven cho of rice fields. It was developed by Ken Seiri around 920 (Engi 20). The manor name first appeared in a document from 1061 (Kohei 4). It is a prime example of a pasture developing into a manor. In 1198 (Kenkyu 9), Chogen, a guardian monk for the retired Emperor Gotoba, acquired it from Taira Morisuke, the 11th successor since its development, and donated it to Shichijo-in. At this point, a system of positions was established in which the main position was passed down to Shichijo-in, the ryoke position to Chogen, and the shiji position to Taira Morisuke's descendants, and thereafter the main position was passed down as Shichijo-in land.

Japanese:

大和国宇陀郡(現，奈良県榛原町)の荘園。〈ひまきのしょう〉ともいう。田数7町余。920年(延喜20)ころ県清理によって開発された。1061年(康平4)の文書に荘号が初めて見える。牧が荘園に発展した代表的な例。1198年(建久9)後鳥羽上皇の護持僧であった長厳が，開発以来11代目の伝領者平盛相から譲得し，七条院に寄進した。この時点で本家職が七条院，領家職が長厳，下司職は平盛相の子孫が伝承するという職の体系が成立，以後本家職は七条院領として伝領された。
