   1A species of paper.
   2Ko-sode, ladies garments worn under the large outer robe.
   3Grass-cloth.
   4Though Shin-Ri had taken that Buddhist name and called herself a nun(ama), she had not
retired into a monastery, but still lived among the laity and saw worldly affairs. She had merely
shaved her head and did simple daily acts of devotion. Shin-Ri cannot be identified, but probably
was a lady of the Konoe household. Similar receipts and letters of appointment signed by the same
person, five documents in all dated Sho-wa 4 y. (1315) and Bun-po 3 y. (1319), are given in SK,
IX, from the Kishira documents.
