Everything about Mandokoro totally explained
was the chief governing body of an important family or monastic complex in the ancient
Japan. This name was borrowed for administrative department of
Shogunate in the feudal time.
The earliest usage was found in
Heian period for governing body of royalty and high-ranked
kuge (higher than ju-sammi).
In the
Kamakura and
Muromachi periods
Japan, the primary executive branch of the
Bakufu was called in this name. In Kamakura Shogumate, Mandokoro governed administrative and finance. It was formerly called Kumonjo. The date of renaming is argued and there are two major theories,
1191 and
1185. The first chief of mandokoro was
Ōe no Hiromoto, and later
shikken or
rensho occupied this position. The executive director, serving as the treasurer, was taken by
Nikaidō clan.
In Muromachi Shogunate, Mandokoro was the office of finance and process on fiefs. Except its early days, the chief of Mandokoro was taken by
Ise clan since
1379.
As (lit. North Mandokoro), Mandokoro was also used for the honorific substitution referring to the wife of
Sesshō (regent) and
Kampaku. For example, the wife of
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who ranked Kampaku in
1586 was styled Kita no mandokoro (lit. North Mandokoro), and his mother, Ō-mandokoro (lit. Mandokoro the Great). In Heian period, the wives of
kuge was often called Kita-no-kata, (Lady in the North), since their resident was normally placed in the northern complex of the entire residence.
