Kitabatake Sanjo

Japanese: 北畠散所 - きたばたけさんじょ
Kitabatake Sanjo

...By the way, it is important that the Kitabatake Shomokushi mentioned earlier included songs with Minamoto no Yoritomo as the main character in their repertoire. This is because, leaving aside the historical connection between the Kitabatake Shomokushi, a group of contemporary low-class performers who were based in Kitabatake Sanjo, it is customary to explain the origin of the document (which has various names, but is now collectively called "kawaramakimono") that was passed down and preserved as a fundamental document to assert the rights of the eta, who were placed at the core of the low-class class in the Edo period's class system, and was promoted by Minamoto no Yoritomo to serve him. For example, in the Copy of Lord Yoritomo's Red Seal handed down by the Danzaemon family of the Eta-no-chief of Asakusa, Edo, it is said that in September 1180, Danzaemon Fujiwara no Yorikane, the Kamakura chief official, obtained control over various professions, including chief official, zatou (traditional monk), maimai (dance), sarugaku (traditional Japanese dance), and onmyoji (practitioner of the Yin-Yang technique), by means of a red seal letter from Yoritomo.
