In China, storehouses that store grain in peacetime in preparation for poor harvests are called gikura, and the grain itself is called gikuramai. They began in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and were used to prepare for disasters by accumulating land taxes levied on farmers. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were run by donations from the wealthy.
