Akizuki-so

Japanese: 秋月荘 - あきづきのしょう

A manor located in Awa County, Awa Province. It is believed to have been established in Akizukigo, and is identified with the area from the area around the Higaidani River in Awa City, Tokushima Prefecture, to the area around the Kuzuudani River in Donari, Awa City. It was the property of Hokongoin Temple, a temple established by Taikenmon'in Shoshi, the Empress of Emperor Toba, and after Taikenmon'in's death, it was passed down to Josaimon'in, Emperor Goshirakawa, and Senyomon'in. After it was temporarily confiscated by the Kamakura Shogunate after the Jokyu War, it was returned to Takatsukasain, passed on to Emperor Gofukakusa, and was passed on to the Jimyoin line. In the late Kamakura period, the Ashikaga clan was the land steward. The Hosokawa clan, a powerful military commander of the Ashikaga clan who entered Awa Province in 1336, established a shugosho in Akizuki, and used it as their base of control until they moved to Shozui. During the Nanboku-cho period, Aisu Noritoshi, a resident of Kii Province, was appointed as a land steward by the Southern Court, but it is questionable whether this was an effective position. One third of Akizuki Manor was maintained as the main territory of the Hosokawa clan until the 15th century, and the Akizuki clan, a vassal of the Hosokawa clan, was based in Akizuki Castle.

Japanese:

阿波国阿波郡内にあった荘園。秋月郷の地に成立したとみられ，現徳島県阿波市の日開谷(ひがいだに)川付近から，阿波市土成(どなり)の九頭宇谷(くづうだに)川流域にかけての地域に比定される。鳥羽天皇の中宮待賢門院璋子の御願寺法金剛院(ほうこんごういん)領で，待賢門院の死後，上西門院，後白河天皇，宣陽門院へ伝えられ，承久の乱後一時鎌倉幕府に没収された後，鷹司院に還付され，後深草天皇へ渡り，以後持明院統に伝領された。鎌倉時代後期には足利氏が地頭であった。1336年阿波国に入った足利氏の有力武将細川氏は，秋月に守護所を構え，以後勝瑞(しょうずい)に移るまで支配の拠点とした。なお南北朝期，紀伊国の住人愛洲憲俊が南朝方により地頭職に補任されているが，実効があったかどうかは疑問がある。秋月荘の３分の１は細川氏の本領として15世紀まで維持され，同氏の被官秋月氏が秋月城に拠った。
