Wasa-so

Japanese: 和佐荘 - わさのしょう

This manor was located on the south bank of the Kinokawa River in Nakusa County, Kii Province, in the area currently known as Wasa-Naka in Wakayama City. The date of its establishment is unknown, but it is believed that the alluvial lowlands along the river were developed and turned into farmland. Because Shimo-Wasa Manor, which had a different lord, was adjacent to it to the southwest, it was also called Kami-Wasa Manor or Wasa-Kami Manor. In 1264, Omiya no Tsubone, a consort of Emperor Toba, donated Shimomura and Minamimura within Wasa Manor to Kankiji Temple in Rakuchū as a place of offering for the long-day goma offering to mourn the reindeer. In 1330, the temple was transferred to Yakutokuji Temple within the manor, along with its temple land, and by the end of the 14th century, Yakutokuji Temple was calling itself Kankiji Temple. Thus, this manor passed from the time of being the land of Yakutokuji Temple to the land of Kankiji Temple again. According to historical documents from the early 14th century, the position of betto of Yakutoku-ji Temple was held by the novice priest Shami Keisho at the time, and it was a position that was passed down from generation to generation. According to other documents, Keisho was the same person as Shimomura Geshi Magotaro Nyudo Chisho, a descendant of the lord of Nemoto Kaihatsu and a member of the Goke family. His son, Sanemura, bore the surname Otomo and was also called Wasa Matajiro. In addition to the Geshi, Shimomura had Kumon and Sotsuibu-shi, and Kumon also bore the surname Otomo. In 1327, the Shimomura Zassho Dokaku and Geshi Otomo Sanemochi divided the land between them, and the right to investigate and manage water was also divided in two. At the same time, a peace agreement was made between Dokaku and Kumon Otomo Sanekazu, making Kumon's share of the land clear. The official documents of the same year, which list various official duties and various taxes, are well known. The Wasai well, which irrigates the manor, and the Miya well, which irrigates the area of Hinokumakunikakasu Shrine (Hinokuma Shrine), passed through the manor, and a dispute over water irrigation broke out between 1433 and the following year, leading to a battle. In the dispute, Hinokuma Shrine claimed that the Wasai well was a branch of the Miya well, and that the manor was a well with a separate intake from the Miya well.

紀伊国名草(なくさ)郡の紀ノ川南岸，現和歌山市和佐中一帯にあった荘園。成立の時期は不明だが，同川沿岸の沖積低地が開発されて耕地化したものであろう。南西に接して領主を異にする下和佐荘があるため，上和佐荘，和佐上荘ともいわれた。1264年後鳥羽院の宮女大宮局が院の菩提(ぼだい)を弔(とむら)うため，和佐荘内下村・南村を洛中歓喜(かんぎ)寺に長日護摩料所として寄進している。同寺は1330年当荘内の薬徳寺に寺領とともに譲られ，14世紀末までに薬徳寺は観喜寺を名乗る。したがって当庄は薬徳寺領の時代を経て再び歓喜寺領となった。14世紀初めの史料によると薬徳寺の別当職は当時沙弥(しゃみ)恵性が所持しており，これは〈代々相伝職〉であったという。また別の史料によると，恵性は〈下村下司(げし)孫太郎入道智性〉と同一人物で，〈根本開発領主子孫〉であり御家(ごけ)人でもあった。その子実村は大伴姓を名乗っており，また和佐又次郎とも称している。下村には下司のほか公文(くもん)・惣追捕(ついぶ)使がおり，公文も大伴姓であった。1327年下村の雑掌(ざっしょう)道覚と下司大伴実持との間で下地中分が行われ，検断権・用水管理権も二分された。また同時に道覚と公文大伴実員との間でも和与(わよ)が成立し，公文得分(とくぶん)が明確にされている。同年の公文得分公事(くじ)注文には各種公事とさまざまな夫役(ぶやく)が書き上げられていて，著名である。荘内を当庄を灌漑(かんがい)する和佐井と日前国懸(ひのくまくにかかす)神宮（日前宮）領一帯を潤す宮井とが通っており，1433年から翌年にかけて用水相論が発生，合戦に及んでいる。相論のなかで日前宮は和佐井は宮井の枝溝とし，当荘では宮井とは別の取水口をもつ井溝であると主張している。
