The Chronicles of Lord Kanemi

Japanese: 兼見卿記 - かねみきょうき

This is the diary of Yoshida Kanemi (originally named Kanekazu), the deputy chief priest of Shinto during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Currently, the diary contains the entries from 1570 to 1592, but some parts are missing. There are also some other notes. As Kanemi was the head of the Yoshida Shinto family, the majority of the entries are related to Shinto rituals, but it also contains information on the movements of the central government, including the activities of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, travelogues from his travels around the country, his observations and experiences, and even literary matters such as renga (linked verse) and Noh theater, making it an important historical document of this period.

安土桃山時代，神祇大副吉田兼見 (初名兼和) の日記。現在，元亀1 (1570) ～文禄1 (92) 年の記事が伝えられているが，途中闕失部分もある。そのほかに若干の別記がある。兼見が吉田神道の宗家にある立場上，神事に関係する記述が大半であるが，織田信長，豊臣秀吉の動静をはじめとする中央政権の推移，各地へ旅行したときの紀行および世間の見聞，さらには連歌，能楽などの文芸関係にも及んでおり，この時代の重要な史料となっている。
