Himonosho

Japanese: 檜物荘 - ひもののしょう

A manor in Koga County, Omi Province. It corresponds to the area of present-day Kosei-cho and Ishibe-cho in Shiga Prefecture (both towns are now part of Konan City). It was inherited as the land of the regent family, and later as the land of the Konoe family. Saishoko-in in Kyoto was the head family's residence (later donated to Toji Temple in Kyoto), Shogo-in in Kyoto was the residence of the lord, and it was also the land of the Saito Shakado Hall of Enryaku-ji Temple and Daiji-in. The relationship with the regent family can be seen in the provision of food for the visit of the Fujiwara no Choja to the Kasuga Festival in 1062, and there is also an article about the procurement of a water bucket and ladle for the annual Tenchi Shihohai event, so it is likely that woodcutters and cypress craftsmen lived there. A list of the Konoe family's landholdings from 1253 shows that the Konoe family had actual control over the land with the right of administration. In 1325, the Saishokoin estate was required to pay the service of 10 soldiers (for April), and to pay 100 koku of annual tax, 140 rice cakes, and two layers of brocade headgear to Shogoin Palace. During the Nanboku-cho period, the estate was divided into Kami-Himomono-Sho and Shimo-Himomono-Sho, and the villages within the estate were considered temple land for Joraku-in, Shobodai-ji, Choju-ji, and other temples in Koga County. However, the samurai class also invaded the estate, with incidents such as the land steward Aoji-shi and others seizing the Saishokoin estate (around 1346-1370), the conflict between Rokkaku Ujiyori and Nikki Yoshinaga over the estate (around 1359), and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu granting the position of Geshitadokoro to Ginaga Ujihide (1385). From 1558 to 1565, Shimohimonosho was involved in a dispute with Ishibe Sango over the irrigation of the Yasu River.

近江国甲賀郡にあった荘園。現在の滋賀県甲西町・石部町（２町とも現・湖南市）の一帯にあたる。摂関家領，のち近衛家領として伝領されたが，京都最勝光院が本家職（のち京都東寺に寄進される），京都聖護(しょうご)院が領家職をもったほか，延暦(えんりゃく)寺西塔(さいとう)釈迦堂領や大慈院領などもみられた。1062年藤氏長者の春日祭参詣に際しての屯食(とんじき)の用意など摂関家との関係がうかがえるが，年中行事の天地四方拝での御手水桶杓を調達するなどの記事がみえ，杣工(そまだくみ)や檜物師(ひものし)が居住していたのであろう。1253年の近衛家所領目録では近衛家が荘務権をもって実質的な支配を行っていた。最勝光院領としては1325年に兵士役10人（４月分）を負担，聖護院宮には本年貢100石，餅140枚，綾被物(あやかつぎもの)２重などを納めることになっていた。南北朝期には上檜物荘・下檜物荘に分かれ，荘内の郷村が甲賀郡の常楽院・少菩提寺・長寿寺などの寺領とされている。しかし武家の進出もみられ，地頭青地氏らが最勝光院領を押領した事件（1346年−1370年頃），当荘をめぐる六角氏頼と仁木(にっき)義長の対立（1359年頃），足利義満による儀俄氏秀への下司田所(げしたどころ)職の安堵（1385年）などがあった。1558年から65年にかけて下檜物荘は野洲川の用水をめぐって石部三郷と相論になっている。
