Disownment. ※Azuma Kagami, Bun'ichi 2 (1186), June 15th: "Dissolving relationships. In this case, the _father 's will _{is the same} as _{the son} 's _. " [Nippo Jisho (1603-04)] ③ In the early modern period, to cut off relationships between relatives. While both kyuri and kandou were used by superiors to cut off ties with subordinates, gisetsu was used between equal relatives. However, in the late early modern period, the terms were confused with kyuri and kandou. *Essay, Dai En Ji ( c . 1644), Vol. 2, "Even after Shaoba's gisetsu" *Butou (1950), by Shono Junzo, "Due to circumstances, the husband is in a state of gisetsu with his blood relatives." [Essay] In ancient China, blood relatives were considered to be "Tengo", or a natural union, while husband and wife were considered to be "Gigo", or an artificial union, and "Gisetsu" was used because it severed the "righteous" union. ① is a continuation of this.
