Yokoe House

Japanese: 横江荘 - よこえのしょう

A manor in Kaga County, Echizen Province (later Ishikawa County, Kaga Province). Its relict address is Yokoe-cho, Matto City, Ishikawa Prefecture (present-day Hakusan City). It is thought to have originated as the former Saigū-shida, given to Princess Asahara (Princess Kanmu) during the Enryaku era (782-806), and was donated to Todaiji Temple by her mother Princess Sakuhito (Princess Konin) in 818 after Princess Asahara's death. At the time, the land was over 186 cho of reclaimed land. A draft of the Todaiji Temple's land inventory of various provinces, estimated to have been created in 998, notes that the land has been "already desolate," and Todaiji Temple's management of the manor was already at a standstill by the end of the 10th century. After the Nanboku-chō period, the manor name reappeared as Tenryū-ji territory. In 1374, Sakyō Gon-dayu Ieaki donated the position of land steward of the manor to Tenryū-ji Temple. In 1387, the temple was taxed more than 567 koku of rice and more than 122 kan of public money. During the Sengoku period, disputes arose between the temple and Nyoian, and Tenryu-ji's ownership of the land became mere name, and the name of the manor disappeared in 1538. The remains of a post-hole building were discovered at the site of the Yokoe Manor manor house (a nationally designated historic site) in the northern outskirts of Yokoe-cho, and ink-written earthenware with the name "Miyake" was also excavated.

越前国加賀郡（のち加賀国石川郡）の荘園。石川県松任(まっとう)市（現・白山市）横江町を遺称地とする。延暦年間（782年−806年）に朝原内親王（桓武皇女）に与えられた前斎宮賜田が前身と考えられ，朝原内親王没後の818年に母の酒人内親王（光仁皇女）によって東大寺に施入された。当時の規模は墾田186町余。998年の作成と推定される東大寺領諸国庄家田地目録案には〈已荒〉と注記があり，東大寺による当荘経営は10世紀末の段階ですでに行き詰まっていた。南北朝期以降，天竜寺領として再び荘名がみえる。1374年前左京権大夫家明が当荘の地頭職を天竜寺に寄進している。1387年には米567石余，公事銭122貫余が課せられていた。戦国期に入り如意庵との間に相論が起こるなどして天竜寺の領有権は有名無実化し，1538年を最後に荘名は消える。横江町北郊の横江荘荘家跡（国指定史跡）からは掘立柱建物跡などが検出されたほか，〈三宅〉などと記された墨書土器が出土している。
