Gozencho - Imperial register

Japanese: 御前帳 - ごぜんちょう

Important ledgers held by nobles. The types of ledgers varied depending on the nature of the nobles. For example, in the Edo period, ledgers such as the duty registers related to the Shogunate's territories, village registers, and village registers related to the Shogunate's administration were all called Gozencho, in the sense that they were presented to the Shogun and kept at his disposal. In the case of the Sengoku daimyo Gohojo clan, it referred to the land and administrative registers approved by the head of the family, and examples of the use of Gozencho date back to medieval historical materials. Of these, the Gozencho is particularly noteworthy as a national land register that was held by the unified government in the early modern period, along with the Kuni-ezu (Kuni-ezu), and its collection by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1591 (Tensho 19) and Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1605 (Keicho 10) is well known.

Japanese:

貴人の手元に掌握された重要帳簿。貴人の性格，帳簿の種類は多様で，例えば江戸時代には，幕領関係の勤方（つとめかた）帳，村鑑（むらかがみ）大概帳や幕政関係の郷帳などが，将軍に上納されその座右に備用されるという意味ですべて御前帳と呼ばれた。また戦国大名後北条氏の場合は当主決裁の所領役帳を指し，さらに御前帳の用例は中世史料にまでさかのぼる。これらの中でとくに注目されるのは，近世初頭の統一政権が国郡図(国絵図)とともに掌握した国家的土地台帳としての御前帳で，豊臣秀吉の1591年(天正19)，徳川家康による1605年(慶長10)の徴集は有名。
