Gion execution diary - Gion execution diary

This is the common name for the diaries of the executive family, centered around the diary of Kensen, who served as executive (general affairs manager) of Gion Shrine (now Yasaka Shrine, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City) for many years. The original title was "Shaka Kiroku" (Records of the Shrine Family). Of the seven volumes in total, five are Kensen's diaries, written in 1343 (Kokoku 4, Koei 2), 1350 (Shohei 5, Kan'o 1), 1352 (Shohei 7, Bunwa 1), 1371 (Kentoku 2, Oan 4), and 1372 (Bunchu 1, Oan 5). Of the above, only the third volume was written while he was still in his position as executive. Related historical materials include the "Shaka Jojo Kiroku" written in 1323 (Genko 3) and the "San Torii Kenritsu-ki" written by Kensen. It contains a wide variety of historical materials, including those on the social and economic aspects of the Nanboku-cho period, such as events related to Gion Shrine, manors under the control of shrine families, the Wataza dispute, and the activities of inujinin, as well as the Hokke Ikki uprising that began in 1532 (Tenbun 1). It is also included in Gunsho Ruiju (miscellaneous section, excerpts), Yasaka Shrine Series (volume 1), and Yasaka Shrine Records (volume 1).
