| Research Abstract |
In order to understand the Land Lords in the context of political history of medieval Japan, it is necessary to take notice of their influences for the local societies.
In early Kamakura period, Utsunomiya clan organized the temples and Shrines in their lands, and let the lower warriors and residents participate the ceremony. This came to be a typical method to control their land, and other clans of North middle East district introduced this method. In Nanbokucho period, Utsunomiya and Uesugi clan received Zen sect of Buddhism, which Muromachi Shogunate eagerly supported, thus many temples in North middle East district changed their religion into Zen sect, especially in the case that Shugo warriors promoted it. In Sengoku period, the Land Lords held ceremonies so as to arrange the mentality of their clans、 or to annex other clans to theirs. In order to annex them, the Land Lords worshipped other clans' ancestors with the support of the monks from Koyasan temples. Thus the monks formed one of powers to support political controls of Sengoku Daimyo in a border land of latter medieval Japan.
