Yosegoori - Yosegoori

Japanese: 寄郡 - よせごおり

A land unit found in Shimazu Manor, which existed across Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga in the Middle Ages. It is generally called "Yosegori," but since a person who belonged to one land but also performed duties in other land was called a "Yoriudo," it is thought that it was called Yorigoori because it was a public land (gun) but also belonged to a manor. From the end of the Heian period onwards, in the above mentioned provinces, there was an active movement to incorporate only the miscellaneous duties from the government taxes and miscellaneous duties of the constituent units of public land, such as guns, towns, and inns, into Shimazu Manor.

中世，薩摩，大隅，日向にまたがって存在した島津荘にみられる所領単位。一般に〈よせごおり〉とよまれることが多いが，一個の所領に属しながら他領にも身分的に属して所役をつとめる者を寄人（よりうど）というから，公領(郡)でありながら荘園にも寄属しているとの意で寄郡（よりごおり）と呼ばれたと考えられる。平安時代末以降上記の国々では，公領の構成単位である郡，郷，院などを対象として，その租税である官物，雑役のうち，雑役だけを島津荘に編入させる動きが活発となった。
