Yamauchi-so

Japanese: 山内荘 - やまのうちのしょう

This manor was located in Sagami Province, and its relict land area is now Yamanouchi in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is believed to be the northern part of the city and Sakae Ward, Yokohama City, to the north of that area. It is unclear when the manor was established, but in the early Kamakura period it was the territory of Emperor Goshirakawa, and later became the territory of Chokodo, which was passed down to the Jimyoin line. In the 1191 Chokodo Territory Catalogue, it appears to be one of the manors that was not subject to annual taxes. However, around 1224-1242, the control of the main area had become a mere formality. On the other hand, Yamauchi Manor was the main territory of the Yamauchi Suto clan, who had been vassals of the Minamoto clan for generations. When Minamoto no Yoritomo raised an army in 1180, Yamauchi Suto Tsunetoshi sided with the Taira clan, and after Yoritomo's victory, Yamauchi Manor was confiscated and given to Doi Sanehira. After the Wada War in 1213, it was incorporated into the Hojo Tokuso territory. After the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, the manor became the territory of Ashikaga Tadayoshi, and each district within the manor was allocated to temples in Kamakura and senior vassals of the Ashikaga clan. The powerful Uesugi clan is called the Yamanouchi Uesugi clan because they lived in Yamanouchi. The manor included Iwase-go, Yoshida-go, Maioka-go, Akiba-go, Tomizuka-go, Nagao-go, and Yamazaki-go.

Japanese:

相模国にあった荘園で，現神奈川県鎌倉市の山ノ内を遺称地とし，同市北部からその北部横浜市栄区一帯に比定される。立荘の時期などは不明だが，鎌倉時代初頭には後白河院領で，その後長講堂領となり，持明院統に伝領された。1191年の《長講堂領目録》では〈不所課荘々〉とある年中の課役を課されない荘園の一つとしてみえる。だが1224年−1242年頃には本所の支配は有名無実化していた。一方山内荘は代々源氏の家人であった山内首藤氏の本領であった。1180年の源頼朝挙兵の際，山内首藤経俊は平家側についたため，頼朝が勝利したのち山内荘は没収されて，土肥実平に与えられたらしい。1213年の和田合戦後は北条得宗領に組み入れられた。鎌倉幕府滅亡後は足利直義領となり，荘内の各郷は鎌倉の各寺院や足利氏重臣に分給された。上杉氏の有力家を山内上杉氏と称するのは，同家が山ノ内に住んだことによる。荘内には岩瀬郷・吉田郷・舞岡郷・秋庭(あきば)郷・富塚郷・長尾郷・山崎郷などがあった。
