Kanchuuki - Kanchuuki

Also known as "Kalenaka Kyoki." This is the diary of Middle Counselor Kadenokoji (Fujiwara) Kanenaka (1244-1308). The name of the diary was given by posterity by taking one character from each of his family name and the name of the writer. The diary covers the period from 1268 (Bun'ei 5) to 1300 (Shoan 2), and many of the intermediate parts have been lost. Kanenaka served as a benkan (official official) and kurodo (secretary) who handled documents at the Imperial Court, and so it includes articles about events that occurred at the time. It is famous for its articles about the Mongol invasion, the abolition of the Kamakura Shogunate, and the conflict between the Daikakuji and Jimyoin lines. A handwritten version is currently on display at the Toyo Bunko Library. It is included in "Shiryo Taisei." The handwritten version also has a document on the back of the paper, which is included in "Kamakura Ibun." His father, Tsunemitsu, also wrote the Minkei-ki (also known as Tsunemitsu-kyo-ki).

『兼仲卿記(かねなかきょうき)』ともいう。中納言(ちゅうなごん)勘解由小路(かでのこうじ)（藤原）兼仲（1244―1308）の日記。日記名は、家名と記主名から1字ずつとって後人が名づけたもの。日記の範囲は1268年（文永5）から1300年（正安2）までで、中間に散逸した部分も多い。兼仲は、朝廷の文書を取り扱う弁官(べんかん)や蔵人(くろうど)などを歴任しているため、当時の事件に関する記事を載せている。蒙古(もうこ)襲来、鎌倉将軍の廃立、大覚寺(だいかくじ)・持明院(じみょういん)両統の対立などに関する記事は有名である。自筆本が東洋文庫に現存する。『史料大成』所収。なお自筆本には紙背文書があり、『鎌倉遺文』に収められている。父の経光(つねみつ)にも『民経記(みんけいき)』（別名『経光卿記』）がある。
