Retirement home - Inkyoya

Japanese: 隠居屋 - いんきょや

…Retirement is not necessarily a family system of the past, but is also a family system that is practiced today. For example, if we limit ourselves to family residential relationships, the construction of retirement homes has become popular in certain areas of Shiga Prefecture in recent years, and the form of newlyweds living in separate buildings within a family home seen around cities can also be seen as a kind of reproduction of retirement.

From the Mansion

...The peasants who signed up for land were called officials, officials, officials, or officials, and were considered to be the bearers of the labor force, while the weaker farmers signed up only for rice fields and did not register their land, and thus avoided the burden of labor. Many of the houses registered in the land survey books had a main house, a hut, a gatehouse, a retirement home, etc., inside the enclosure of the house, and the weaker farmers (small farmers in the process of becoming independent) who were under the protection and control of the lord lived in the hut, gatehouse, or retirement home, while the lord lived in the main house. Even when small-scale farmers who lived in huts, gatehouses, or retired homes had families and their livelihoods were separate from that of the master's family, the household account book (basic account book for conscription of laborers) counted the life within one house as one hearth, and the families of small-scale farmers who lived within the enclosure of the house were lumped together with the master's family as being included in the family of the master.

【屋敷】より

…屋敷を名請けした百姓が役人，役家，役儀之家，公事屋（くじや）などと呼ばれて夫役負担者とされ，弱小農民は田畠だけを名請けして屋敷の登録をうけず，夫役の負担をまぬがれていた。　検地帳に登録された屋敷は，その多くが屋敷囲いの内部に母屋（おもや）とともに小屋，門屋（かどや），隠居屋などを備え，小屋，門屋，隠居屋には主家の庇護･支配を受ける弱小農民(自立過程の小農)が起居し，母屋には主家が住いした。小屋住み，門屋住い，隠居身分などの弱小農民が家族をもち，その生計が主家のそれから一応独立分離している場合でも，家数人馬改帳（いえかずじんばあらためちよう）(夫役徴集の基礎帳簿)では，1屋敷の内部の生活は1竈（かまど）として把握され，屋敷囲いの内に住む弱小農民の家族は主家の家族に含まれるものとして主家に一括された。…
