〘 noun 〙① = kinshu (financier) ① ※ Kabuki: Hachiman Matsuri Komochizuki Nengi (Shinsuke Chijiya) (1860) Prologue: "'Whatever you ask, the item is genuine, so I'm willing to take it on as a matter of fact and have brought the payment today.' 'Well, I guess I'm a kinkata today, so I can have a bit of fun.'" ② In the Edo period, this was one of the roles of the bill-senders in Kuramae, Asakusa. They would report to the Gotoku Kinba, submit the bills, receive the stone payment, and hand it over to the rice dealers.
