Kikki

This is the diary of Fujiwara (Yoshida) Tsunefusa, a court noble and minister of civil affairs who lived from the end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Kamakura period. It is also called "Kitsuongi" or "Kichidaiki," or "Kikkoki" after the Chinese name for the Ministry of Civil Affairs (Tobe). Only the portion covering 1173 (Joan 3) to 1188 (Bun'ei 4) remains, although there are many missing parts. However, the remaining part contains detailed descriptions, and we can learn not only about the ceremonies and events of the Imperial Court, but also about the Jisho and Juei civil wars and the actual state of the family domain. As a diary of a court noble from the period from the rise of the Taira clan government to the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, it is a historical document second only to "Gyokuyo," and is even more valuable in terms of understanding the way of life of court nobles of the Ryoke class. Included in "Shiryo Taisei."

平安末期～鎌倉初期の公家(くげ)権大納言(ごんだいなごん)民部卿(きょう)藤原（吉田）経房(つねふさ)の日記。『吉御記(きつおんぎ)』『吉大記』とも、また民部省の唐名（戸部）から『吉戸記(きっこき)』ともいう。1173年（承安3）～1188年（文治4）分が現存。ただし欠脱が少なくない。しかし残存部分の記述は詳細で、単に朝廷の儀式、行事だけでなく、治承(じしょう)・寿永(じゅえい)の内乱や家領支配の実態までを知ることができる。平氏政権の隆盛から鎌倉幕府成立に至る時期の公家の日記として『玉葉(ぎょくよう)』に次ぐ史料的価値があり、領家(りょうけ)クラスの公家のあり方を知るうえではさらに貴重な史料である。『史料大成』所収。
