Yoshishima-so

Japanese: 好島荘 - よしまのしょう

A manor in Iwaki County, Mutsu Province. The manor area stretches from the center of Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture to the northeastern coast. It was the territory of Yamashiro Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine, and was in fact the Kanto Imperial Territory. In 1186, the Iwaki clan, the development lord, built a shrine (Iino Hachiman Shrine) in Yoshijimago, inviting the deity of Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine, and is thought to have established a manor as the shrine's territory. At the beginning of the 13th century, the total number of fields was 523 cho, of which 297 cho were fixed fields. The Iwaki clan subsequently held the position of land steward hereditary. Chiba Tsunetane was appointed as the land steward, and in 1208, during the time of Tsunetane's son, Osuga Tanenobu, the manor was divided into East and West Manors with the Natsui River as the border. The East Manor stewardship was inherited by the Osuga clan for a long time, but the West Manor became hereditary from 1247 to the Iga clan. The annual tax to the shogunate was, in principle, one piece of silk per town. There were constant disputes between the land stewards and the yoroshi over the payment of taxes, but by the mid-15th century, the land steward Iwaki clan's control had spread to the entire Iwaki district, and Koshima Manor was dissolved.

陸奥国磐城(いわき)郡の荘園。荘域は現福島県いわき市中央部から北東海岸部に及ぶ。山城石清水八幡宮領で，事実上は関東御領。1186年開発領主岩城氏が好島郷に石清水八幡宮の御正体(みしょうたい)を勧請して社（飯野八幡宮）を建立，その社領として立荘したとみられる。13世紀初頭の総田数523町余，うち定田297町余。岩城氏はその後地頭職を世襲。預所(あずかりどころ)には千葉常胤が補任され，1208年常胤の子大須賀胤信のとき，荘内の夏井川を境に東荘と西荘に分割，東荘預所は大須賀氏が長く相伝するが，西荘は1247年から伊賀氏の世襲となる。幕府への年貢は原則として町別１疋の帖絹。年貢納入などをめぐり地頭と預所の相論が絶えなかったが，15世紀中頃には地頭岩城氏の支配は磐城郡全域に及び好島荘も解体していった。
