                    78. ANNUAL DUES OF AN ESTATE, 1334

                           (Iriki-in docs.; also KK, II, and SK, XII.)
THIS is apparently a report by the deputy of the Iriki lord, the ji-to, of the latter's revenue from
the holdings of a vassal in To-no-hara. Some of the items are difficult to understand.

   [On the margin]:
     "Report by the lord of Kiyoshiki, in kino e-inu,1 of the revenue from Futa-mure."

         "REPORT of the revenue in the year of the houses1a of Rokuro-zhiro nyu-do
         of Futa-mure.
"[For] the ji-to:-
  7.7 koku              the additional rice2 shall be a level measure;3
  1 kwan    300 mon raw silk, commuted;
                500 mon indigo and madder commuted;
                395 mon money for the fu;4
  1 kwan                for the obligations;5
                300 mon kauwo [?], commuted:
                100 mon toriko[?] thread;
                300 mon dues of the sono and mulberry land [?], being the dues of
                                 the houses at No-ine no hara.
  "Additional rice2 for 7 tan, 1.55 koku, No-ine no Hara.
"[Total]: Copper money, 3 kwan 895 mon;
            rice, 9.25 koku.
    "Ken-mu 1 y. 9 m. 8 d. [26 September 1334].      The deputy, Zho-Gyo."




  1The eleventh year of the sixty-year cycle: 5 Feb. 1334-25 Jan. 1335.
  1aIt is not clear whether the word zai-ke is singular or plural; probably plural.
  2An examination shows that the regular tax from the 7 tan ofta attached to the zai-ke was 7.7
koku, or 1.1 koku per tan; and additional rice tax (nobe-mai: see No. 49, n. 6)was 20%,
namely, 1.55 koku.
  3That is rice shall not be piled in the measure above the level of its upper edges.
  4Does "fu" refer to Da-zai Fu?
  5Ku-zhi (local pronunciation for ku-zhi) is the word, written in kana. Cf. Index, ku-zhi.
