Wakayamaso

Japanese: 若山荘 - わかやまのしょう

This manor in Suzu County, Noto Province, is identified with the area including the western part of Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Uchiura Town (currently Noto Town), and the eastern part of Noto Town (currently Noto Town). In 1143, Minamoto no Suekane donated the manor, which he inherited from his father Toshikane, to Empress Dowager Fujiwara no Seishi (later Kokamon'in). At the beginning of the Kamakura period, the manor area was 500 cho (based on the number of fields in Noto Province), covering most of the county, and consisted of four districts, Wakayama, Iida, Tada, and Mokuro, and Saikaiura. The head family position was passed down from Kokamon'in to the Kujo family, and the lord position was passed down from Suekane to his son Suenaga and then to the Hino family, and in 1348 there was a dispute between Kujo Tsuneyoshi and Hino Tokimitsu over the lord position. The Hino family appointed local samurai such as the Honjo and Matsunami families as manor officials, but from 1428 to the following year they served as shugouke. In Naogo within the manor, there are numerous remains of kilns for Suzu ware, which was fired from the Heian to Sengoku periods.

能登国珠洲(すず)郡の荘園で，現石川県珠洲市西部から内浦(うちうら)町（現・能登町）および能都(のと)町（現・能登町）東部などを含む一帯に比定される。1143年源季兼は父俊兼から伝領された当荘を皇太后藤原聖子（のちの皇嘉門院）に寄進している。鎌倉時代初頭には公田数500町で（能登国田数注文），郡域の大半を荘域とし，若山・飯田・直(ただ)・木郎(もくろう)の４郷と西海(さいかい)浦からなっていた。本家職は皇嘉門院から九条家に，領家職は季兼から子の季長を経て日野家に伝領され，1348年には九条経教と日野時光の間で領家職をめぐる相論があった。日野家は在地武士の本庄氏・松波氏らを荘官に登用したが，1428年から翌年にかけては守護請となっていた。荘内の直郷には，平安期から戦国期にかけて焼かれた珠洲焼の窯跡が多数分布している。
