Fushinosho

Japanese: 椹野荘 - ふしののしょう

A manor in Yoshiki District, Suo Province (present-day Ogori Town, Yoshiki District, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the area around Yoshikawa, Yamaguchi City). It was established in the mid-8th century from temple land donated by imperial decree to Todaiji Temple. The manor, which consisted of 91 cho (100 m2) and 6 tan (100 m2) of rice fields, had fallen into disrepair and collapsed by the mid-Heian period, but was restored as temple land in 1196 (Kenkyu 7) at the request of Shunjobo Chogen, the Daikanjinsho (Great Religious Commissioner) who promoted the reconstruction of Todaiji Temple. The annual tax from the manor was used as an offering for the Great Buddha Hall Ryokai Kuyoho (Great Buddha Hall and Great Buddha Hall) and Saisho-ko (Great Buddha Hall and Great Buddha Hall), which were founded in the same year, and the manor was called the Kenmitsu Offering House. From then on, Sotodaiji Temple was the main residence throughout the Kamakura period, and the position of lord was passed on from Chogen to Tonan-in and Nishimuro-in, before returning to Sotodaiji Temple.

周防国吉敷郡(現，山口県吉敷郡小郡町，山口市嘉川一帯)の荘園。8世紀中葉，東大寺に勅施入された寺田より成立する。田数91町6段余の当荘は，平安時代中期までに荒廃･顚倒したが，1196年(建久7)東大寺再建活動を進める大勧進職俊乗房重源の訴えにより，寺領として再興された。所当年貢は同年に創始された大仏殿両界供養法･最勝講の供料にあてられ，当荘は顕密供料所と称された。以後鎌倉時代を通して惣東大寺を本所とし，その領家職は重源より東南院，西室院に相承された後，ふたたび惣東大寺に帰した。
