Household servant

Japanese: 家役 - いえやく
Household servant
〘Noun〙 Taxes imposed on households in the Middle Ages and early modern times. There were taxes imposed by the shogunate or feudal lords, and those imposed by villages and other communities. The standards for household taxes were based on the size of the household, as well as the household's ability to pay. They are also called 'muneyaku' or 'zaikeyaku'. ※Gyokujinsho (1563) 27: "A person who does not make a household a household is called an 'idler.'"
