Land supply - Kyuuchi

Japanese: 給地 - きゅうち

In the Middle Ages, it referred to land given by a feudal lord to a manor official or a land steward, and was also called "kyuden." In the Edo period, it referred to land given by a daimyo to a vassal, or the right to control it. It was also written as "kyuchi," and those who received the given land were called "kyunin." There were cases where it was called "chigyosho," but generally the territories of hatamoto and gokenin were called "chigyosho," and the territories of daimyo were called "ryochyo."

Japanese:

中世には領主が荘官(しょうかん)や地頭に給与した土地をいい，給田(きゅうでん)ともいう。江戸時代には大名が家臣に与えた地，またはその支配権をいう。給知とも記し，給地を得た者を給人とよんだ。知行所という場合があったが，一般に旗本(はたもと)・御家人(ごけにん)の所領を知行所とし，大名の所領を領知として区別する。
