| Research Abstract |
(1) Materials related to jito ukesho (a contract system in the Kamakura Period whereby the management of a manor is entrusted to a jito, or estate steward) and shitaji chubun (physical division of land) were gathered comprehensively in line with currentrequirements for historical materials.
(2) The study reveals a number of examples of the effects of events such as disasters on the establishment and abolition of jito ukesho.
(3) Field work was conducted at Miirinosho, Aki Province, in order to analyze the influence of shitaji chubun division of jito rights on the local area.
(4) The study revealed that military territories and occupations based on them held bybushidan (band of warriors), as opposed to shoen-koryo (manors and public lands), were seized by the Kamakura Bakufu powers and made into jito siki under shoen rights.
(5) The study revealed a process whereby organizations of warrior lords from 13th Century to the end of the 15th Century became linked to local society through patterns of involvement in annual events.
