Abstract

November 1185 when the system of Kunijitō 国地頭 was established, Yoritomo Minamoto 源頼朝 sent Tōkage Amano 天野遠景 to Kyushu as the general Kunijitō there, who put the plan of setting Honryōando-jitō 本領安堵地頭 into practice. This policy means that Yoritomo 頼朝 practiced his power of supplementing Jitō 地頭 in every county and manor. At the same time he also appointed Tadahisa Koremune 惟宗忠久, bailiff at a manor of Shimazu 島津, to be Jitō authorized by Kamakura 鎌倉 Shogunate. Later though, June 1186, he abolished or suspended the system of Kunijitō in 37 counties including Kyoto and neighbouring counties, Chinzei 鎮西 (i.e. Kyushu) as well as Tōgoku 東国 was exempted from the abolishment or suspension. In other words his right of supplementing Jitō in every county and manor remained in the form of the nomination of Jitō in Kyushu. But the latter right of Yoritomo was not so comprehensive that he dared not interfere in the affairs of county officials there were deprived of the nomination of Jito after 1186, and the title of Kunijitō was maintained there. After the period of Kenkyū 建久, 1190-1198, the governmental policy of creating Honryōando-jitō receded in that area, while Konponryōshu 根本領主 or reclaimers led by Sōjitō 惣地頭 came to be appointed to be deputies of Jitō or Myōshu 名主. Since then lesser Jitō gradually began to appear in this district.
