Kanmon - Kanmon

Japanese: 勘文 - かんもん
Kanmon - Kanmon

Also called "Kamon." A written report submitted after examining precedents and historical facts as material for a decision upon receiving orders from the Emperor or the Imperial Court. There were two types of reports: Shoshi Kanmon submitted by the Shoryo-shi under the Ritsuryo system, and Shodo Kanmon submitted by the Myogyo, Myobo, Monjo, Astronomy, Yin and Yang, and Rekido. Examples of the former include the Shokenryo Kanmon, Shozaryo Kanmon, and Ritsubun Kanmon, while examples of the latter include Kanmon on era names, revolutions, writings, falsification, impurities, dates and times, good and bad luck, solar and lunar eclipses, and earthquakes. During the Muromachi period, these reports were incorporated into the samurai traditions, and reports were compiled at the request of the Shogun.
