144. REGISTER OF HOLDINGS, c. 1560
(Iriki-in docs.; also KK, V.)
THE following important document is undated, but we have tentatively dated it 1560. It is evi-
dently a complete register of the holdings1 of the lord's relatives and vassals, religious institutions,
servitors, and artisans, in the Iriki-in domain about that time. The last five lines have been added
at some time during the Tokugawa period(c. 1600-1868); they are of interest, as they purport to
show an approximate total value of the holdings in terms of koku of rice measured according to
the method of evaluation of the later age.10
Without omitting a single item, the editor has, for the sake of clearness, abridged the units of
land-measurement as in No. 18, and tabulated the data. In the original, the names of the kinds of
holdings and the names of the units are repeated under each holder, as follows:-
"For(kata) Mimasaka no kami:
homestead, 3 places;
[ta and hata], 11 cho 6 tan 3 1/2 jo,
of this, uki-men, 2 cho 6 tan 1/2 jo,
and hata, 1 cho 5 tan 1 jo."
By using this group as a model, the reader may readily restore the table to the original form.

2Maki, sowing seed. One is reminded of the custom found in some German domains in the
Middle Ages to indicate the extent of a holding or a demesne by mentioning the quantity of seed
corn(Scheffelssaat) used there. R. Koetzschke, Allegemeine Wirtschaftsgeschichte des Mittelalters
(1924), 228.
3Manifest errors figures.
4The following items mostly are Buddhist and Shinto institutions and persons; zhi, an, and in
are Buddhist houses.
5Hafuri is a Shinto priest.
6Nai-shi is a grade of rank among ladies of the imperial court. Here the two characters should
perhaps be read uchi samurai; if so, the word may mean private servitor attached to an institution.
7Taka-go literally means little hawks; it may refer to land reserved for the maintenance of
young hawks to be used in falconry.
8O-ike literally means a large pond. 9Cf. No. 25.
10One se in the Tokugawa period was a tenth of a tan, or, 30 bu, for a tan then consisted of
300 bu, instead of 360 as before Hideyoshi. See No. 149.
11Taka of a piece of land meant its officially assessed productivity stated in terms of koku of
hulled rice. The regular annual tax was equivalent to a certain percentage of the taka. The latter
was usually rated well below the actual productivity. See No. 149.
