                  87. SHIBUYA SHIGEMOTO'S WILL, 1343
 
     (A copy in Iriki-in docs. ; also KK, II; SK, XVI; Dai Ni-hon shi-ryo, VI, vii, 910.)
COMPARE this with the previous  devises of the main Iriki-in family, Nos. 13, 17, 24, and 42. Jo-Yen
was the Buddhist name of Shigemoto, the fourth lord, and Shigekatsu was son of Okamoto
Shigetomo, adopted by Shigemoto as his heir.
"To devise domains
    To the son Hei-zhi Goro Shigekatsu:
one place: the house1 of To-zhi, and the same homestead2 with ta, hata, and wild land,
  Fuji-gokoro mura, in Yoshida sho, Sagami kuni; west of the road is wooded land,
  toward the south;
one place: the north part of Kiyoshiki, in Iriki in, Satsuma kuni;
one place: the so ken-gyo homestead,2 ta and hata, in Kashiwa-bara, Chikuzen kuni;
one place: the homestead2 and ji-to shiki, Naga-buchi, Chikugo kuni.
    "Since the aforesaid domains are Jo-Yen's hereditary domains, they are devised,
together with the successive documents and the orders of confirmation, to the son Hei-
zhi Goro Shigekatsu. As for the various obligations (ku-zhi), they should be rendered
according to precedents. There shall be no disturbance unto children's children. The
letter of devise is [made] thus.
   "Ko-ei 2 y 2 m. 8 d. [4 March 1343].          Shami Jo-Yen, monogram. "
