Confiscated land - Mokkanryo

Japanese: 没官領 - もっかんりょう

From the late Heian period onwards, land was confiscated by the government as an additional punishment from individuals who committed crimes against the state, such as rebellion or high treason. The Ritsuryo Code stipulated that the confiscation of fields, houses and assets was not limited to land (land), but from the late Heian period onwards land was the main target. An early example was the confiscation of land from Fujiwara no Yorinaga, who was considered the ringleader of the Hogen Rebellion in 1156. After confiscation, land was often given to individuals who had been instrumental in pursuing and killing rebels, or incorporated into various Imperial Court organizations. Yorinaga's confiscated land was incorporated into the Imperial Court's territory, and the Taira clan's confiscated land that was confiscated after the pursuit of the Taira clan in 1183 was given mainly to Minamoto no Yoritomo, forming the core of the Kanto Imperial Territory. The actual content of the confiscated lands varied from head family and lord positions to Geshi and Kumon positions.

Japanese:

平安時代後期以降，謀反(むへん)・大逆(たいぎゃく)など国家反逆罪を犯した人物から，付加刑として官に没収された所領。律では田宅・資財の没官と規定され，土地（所領）には限られていなかったが，平安時代後期以降は所領が主な対象とされた。1156年の保元の乱(ほうげんのらん)の後，その首謀者とされた藤原頼長(ふじわらのよりなが)らの所領が没官されたのが早い例である。没官ののちは反逆者追討に功のあった人物に与えられるか，朝廷の諸機構に組み込まれることが多く，頼長の没官領は後院(ごいん)領に組み込まれ，1183年の平家一門の追討後没収された平家没官領は，主として源頼朝に与えられて関東御領(かんとうごりょう)の中核をなした。なお没官領の実質的な内容は，本家職・領家職から下司(げし)職・公文(くもん)職までさまざまであった。
