72. RECORDS OF TAXES AT TO-NO-HARA, c. 1330
(Terao docs.; also KK, VIII.)
THE two documents that follow are undated, but A would seem to date after the settlement of
dispute that had resulted in the investitures already cited, (No.71), and before the death of any of
the invested persons; and an examination of B shows that its date could hardly be far removed
from that of No. 70. So here they are provisionally dated 1330.
A indicates the sharing of the payment of the dues to the kuni by the chief members of the Terao
family. B is an incomplete account of the holdings in the northern half of To-no-hara upon which,
it appears, a tax of 40 mon per tan had been levied, perhaps by the sho-gun's government for an
unusual reason. Of the proper names in this document, some are the names of estates, while the
others are the names of holders, present or original, with which the estates had become so closely
associated that the personal names of the former were used to indicate the latter. The two docu-
ments together throw light, and at the same time call up important problems, on the institutions at
Iriki in the last days of the Kamakura period (1186-1333).
