Great Inspection - Okemi

Japanese: 大検見 - おおけみ

During the Edo period, when taxes were collected by inspection (→ inspection method), the magistrate would personally visit the village and assess the yield. The magistrate's assistant would compare the yield with the assessment (shokenmi) to determine the tax rate. After 1719 (Kyoho 4), the magistrate made it a rule to actually cut the yield of any one tsubo (3.3 square meters) of land and compare it with the results of the shokenmi.
