Mimura-so

Japanese: 三村荘 - みむらのしょう

A manor in Omi Province. It is thought to have been the area centered around Shimago, Gamou County (present-day Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture), but some say it was in Aichi County. It was part of the territory of the Goganji Temple Hoshogon-in (Shirakawa Mido) of the retired Emperor Toba, and in 1159 it was taxed 300 koku of rice, 1.6 koku of oil, and 300 sheets of straw. In 1228, Emperor Horikawa donated his position as lord to the Saito of Enryaku-ji Temple, but the following year he was suspended at the request of the shogunate, and it is thought that it was later passed on to Enman-in of Onjo-ji Temple. In 1330, the grounds and office of Hoshogon-in Temple were donated by Emperor Godaigo to Toji Temple in Kyoto, but half of the manor had already been sold by Toji Temple to Rokkaku Ujiyori, and his vassals also owned some of the land. From around 1362, there was a dispute between Hoshogon-in Temple and Toji Temple's miscellaneous priests, and in 1374, the temple land within the manor, including Shimago, was made the property of Toji Temple. At one time, half of the land was given to Kacho Monzeki, but in 1478, after repeated appeals, it was returned to Toji Temple. A market was set up in Shimago, and in 1501, a dispute arose between Yokozeki and Honai merchants over the Gofukuza.

近江国にあった荘園。蒲生(がもう)郡島郷（現，滋賀県近江八幡市）を中心とする一帯と考えられるが，愛知郡域とする説もある。鳥羽(とば)上皇の御願寺宝荘厳(ほうしょうごん)院（白河御堂）領の一つで，1159年に米300石，油１石６斗，薦(こも)300枚の年貢が課されていた。1228年後堀河天皇が領家(りょうけ)職を延暦(えんりゃく)寺西塔(さいとう)に寄進したが，翌年幕府の要求で停止されており，のち園城(おんじょう)寺円満院に伝領されたと考えられる。1330年宝荘厳院の敷地および執務職が後醍醐(ごだいご)天皇から京都東寺に寄進されたが，すでに東寺から六角氏頼(うじより)に荘半分が売却されており，またその家臣らの所領もあったようである。1362年頃から宝荘厳院と東寺の雑掌の間で相論が続くが，1374年には同職や荘内の島郷以下の寺領が東寺領とされている。一時，華頂門跡(かちょうもんぜき)に半済(はんぜい)分が与えられたが，1478年に再三の訴えで東寺に還付されている。島郷には市が立てられ，1501年横関商人と保内(ほない)商人が呉服座をめぐって争う事件が起きている。
