152. RECORDS OF THE TO-ZHO AND SHI-RYO, 1614
WE shall for a moment turn backward for a space of forty years, in order to follow the fortune of
the Iriki-in family. Iriki-in Shigetoki rendered distinguished service at the siege of Miyako-no-zho,
near the cradle of the now defunct Shimadzu sho, where Izhuin Tadamune(Ko-Gan) rebelled
against Shimadzu Yoshihisa and held at bay the large forces sent against him for nealy a year in
1599 and 1600. Shigetoki was appointed ji-to of Taka-saki and Taka-baru, in Hiuga,1 at the outset,
and fought gallantly throughout the campaign, always holding a place of high trust;2 when Tada-
zane finally capitulated in April, 1600, Shigetoki served as the special envoy of the lord to bear the
message of his victory to Tokugawa Ieyasu.3 Then followed the tragic days of Fushimi and Seki-ga-
hara (No. 151). Shigetoki participated in both battles. In the great engagement on 21 October,
Shimadzu Toyohisa ws killed, Yoshihio fied for life, and Shigetoki lost all his men but six-Iriki-in
Hiko-emon, Togo Sei-ta, Murano Zenbei, Osako Iya-shiro, Maeda Saburo-zhiro, and a squire. With
these, Shigetoki left the field of battle, and, being overtaken by the enemy, all perished on the 29th.
His spirit was held in awe by the people of Yunowo and Iriki, who deified it in a special temple,
which was in 1655 officially entitled by Urabe as Shigeki myo-zhin.4
Shigetoki died without heir. Shimadzu Iehisa ordered that Hisahide, son of Shimadzu Yoshitora,
who had already been adopted into the Ei family, succeed Shigetoki under the name Shigekuni. This
was the sixteenth lord of the Iriki-in known in later ages by his changed name Shigetaka5 (1579-
1647). Since his mother was the eldest daughter of Yoshihisa, the new lord was as closely tied to
the Shimadzu family as was his predecessor. In 1613 Shigetaka was restored from the small fief of
Yunowo, to which shigetoki was transferred in 1595 (No. 149), to the ancestral domain of his
adopted family, Iriki in, and appointed its ji-to.6 Thus it was that in this historic place he held a
double capacity, as the lord(ryo-shu) of the private domain(shi-ryo) and the Shimadzu baron's
deputy(ji-to) of his outer defense(to-zho), at Iriki. These positions need an elucidation.
The various divisions of the great Shimadzu barony during the Tokugawa period were either
"private domains"(shi-ryo), that is, sub-fiefs, held by their lords(ryo-shu) owing allegiance to the
baron, or "outer defenses"(to-zho),under the direct control of the baron, but charged in care of
his deputies, to whom the historic title ji-to in this greatly changed signification was applied.
Some of the to-zho had once been independent domains or sub fiefs; many had been reorganized
for political and strategic reasons; while some, like Takaoka, in Hiuga, were new creations.7
There were in the barony one hundred to-zho, more or less (No. 153 B and C). Each was
at first defended by a castle or fortress, though under Hideyoshi and the first two Toku-
gawa suzerains all minor castles were demolished by order, here as in the rest of Japan, and pre-
tentious ones were reduced to small dimensions. The seat of the to-zho formed a community called
P341
go, inhabited by a feudal population of seldom more than 1,000 or 1,500 families or less than 200,
though, including the peasantry, the average go contained about 3300 souls (No. 153 C). The
samurai of a go were called at different times go-shi (samurai of the go) or zhu-chu (group or com-
pany) of the to-zho, as distinguished from the shu-chu of Kagoshima, below whom they were
ranked. The go-shi had their representatives appointed for purely administrative purposes, and over
these the baron placed a distinguished vassal of his own as ji-to, who was removable by him at will.
The ji-to was an official agent standing in no feudal relation with the samurai over whom he pre-
sided, for the latter also were direct vassals of either the baron or one of his kinsmen.
The shi-ryo(private domain) of a ryo-shu(lord) contained his own vassals, called ka-chu(house-
hold) or ke-rai(house-dependents). It also like the to-zho had its fortress, its resident quarters for
the samurai built in a similar manner as in a go and alike called fumoto (p.31, n. 193), and its
dependent peasant population. But the shi-ryo occupied a position in the barony similar to that
which the latter in turn held in feudal Japan as a whole, being largely autonomous and organized
on principles of vassalage; the to-zho, on the contrary, like the sho-gun's own domains, was a com-
ponent part of the baron's special political machinery imposed upon a community of peers. The
shi-ryo had officials of its self-government: the yo-nin's duties were judicial, the mono bu-gyo's,
financial, while the yoko-mewere chiefs of police, and the me-tsuke formed the censorate; village
affairs were supervised by the officials kori mi-me(rural inspectors) and chiku-boku mi-me("in-
spectors of bamboos and trees").8 (Further see Nakamura, in our Bibliography.)
When Shigetaka returned to Irkiki in in 1613, the nearly two hundred zhu-chu of Yoshihiro who
resided here were entrusted to his administrative care as ji-to. At the same time, Shigetaka as lord
had his own ka-chu, who mingled with the shu-chu, living as neighbors. The greater part of the
place was his shi-ryo, to which the name of the whole region, Iriki, was arbitrarily applied by the
baron's council; but intermixed with it were lands forming parts of the to-zho, which were col-
lectively designated by the smaller historic place-name Kiyoshiki.9 This confusing state of things
lasted till 1659, (see No. 154).
The confusion of landed institutions in Iriki in is illustrated in the following document B, by
which the baron's councillors granted to a Buddhist priest two peasant estates(kado) out of the
former's domain in the in.
The document A is a record of the military services assessed in 1613-1614 on the various shi-ryo
and to-zho in the barony, in connection with the first besieging campaign at Osaka castle of Toyo-
tomi Hideyori, which was waged by Tokugawa Ieyasu toward the end of the latter year. The
shi-ryo are mentioned by the names of their lords, and the to-zho by those of their locations fol-
lowed by the word shu(group or company). When a lord was also the ji-to of one or more to-zho,
services demanded of men of the latter are sometimes, though not always, stated directly after his
own.
About twenty of the more distinguished lords of domains, nearly all kinsmen of the baron, were
as a class called issho mochi (literally, one-place holders), and nearly twice as many of the lesser
lords were issho mochi kaku("ranked as issho mochi"). The lords of these two classes, who were
generally called issho shu (literally, one-place men or group, but rendered by us as "domain-
holders"), were required to have their main residences in the city of Kagoshima near the baron's
court. The system was doubtless modelled after a similar obligation at Edo which the sho-gun had
imposed upon all the barons in Japan, and probably in its original conception was nothing but a
polite form of the historic custom of exacting hostages, (see No. 148). This system, both at Edo and
at Kagoshima, was intended to facilitate supervision of the barons' or lords' conduct, to multiply
their expenditures through travel and by the keeping of two establishments, one in the city and the
other at the domain, to prevent the independence of the vassals, and generally to insure the sub-
mission of all. Prior to his return from Yonowo, Shigetaka was granted, in 1611, a piece of land in
Kagoshima for his residence, but he was unable to meet the necessary expenses of building and
maintenance till two years later,10 when he had moved to Iriki and his circumstances had somewhat
eased.

18 Men of the to-zho of Kiyoshiki, of which Shigetaka was the ji-to.
19 The samurai of the rank called sho-shi, who had their main residences in Kagoshima, and stood
higher than the go-shi, (namely, samurai of the to-zho), were divided into three classes: the ko-ban,
700 families, more or less, mounted; the shin ban, 20 families, more or less; and the ko-sho, nearly
4100 families. (Miyazaki ken shi, part V, chapter 6.)
20 See No. 147, nn. 8 and 18. 21 Nin- or hito-yaku.

23 Uki, literally, floating, meaning probably "unspecified"; as applied to dues, see uki-men, in No.
104, n. 16, and No. 108, n. 5.
24 Tono-yaku, literally, dues for the lord's court. Tono was used derivatively in the sense of the
lord himself. Here, tono-yaku would seem to mean peasants' fixed service for lord and baron: this
is inferred from a baronial edict of 1611 (Kei-cho 16 y. 2 m. 11 d.-SK, 2nd series, XXX). The
edict stated that a tono-yaku had been charged against peasant-family holdings (kado); it is further
P350
ruled that, "if an official of a place privately employed [peasants] beyond the number of days
specified for the enforcement of the tono-yaku, [that fact] should be reported to [the baron's
council at] Kago-shima."
25 Buddhist churches and houses.
26 Literally, place for discussion; apparently a Buddhist institution within the baron's court. It
also occurs in No. 145.
27 Men-kyo. 28 A Shinto temple.
29 Domains, not laborers, assigned as stated. 30 On kari-ya. These were at seaports.
31 On uma-mawari, literally, "about [the lord's] horse."
