Missing Kuri - Runaway Cucumber

Japanese: 欠落久離 - かけおちきゅうり
Missing Kuri - Runaway Cucumber
In the Edo period, this was the act of a superior severing ties with a subordinate who had run away from home. Usually, it was simply called "kuri," but in the latter half of the Edo period, it was confused with "kando," which involved driving out a person who was at home and severing the parent-child relationship. To distinguish between the two, "kuri" was sometimes called "missing kuri" and "kando" was sometimes called "expelled kuri."

Japanese:
〘名〙 江戸時代、目上の者が、欠落(家出)した目下の者との親族関係を断絶する行為。普通、単に久離といわれたが、江戸後半期に、在宅する者を追い出し、親子関係を断絶する勘当(かんどう)と混同され、両者を区別する必要上、久離を欠落久離、勘当を追出久離(おいだしきゅうり)といったことがある。
