Goho

Japanese: 五保 - ごほ
Goho
A neighborhood organization within a village under the Ritsuryo system. It was modeled after the Tang Dynasty system. It was called Goho because it was made up of five neighboring families. It was considered a subordinate organization of a village (village) consisting of 50 families, and they were required to share responsibility for maintaining public order, mutual assistance, paying taxes, and repaying debts. The Goningumi of the Edo period is considered to be a revival of Goho.

Japanese:
律令制村落内部の隣保組織。唐制の模倣。近隣の五家(五戸のこと)をもって一保を編成したので五保と称する。50戸から成る里(り)の下部組織とされ,治安維持・相互扶助・納税・債務弁済などに共同責任をとらされた。江戸時代の五人組は五保の復活とみられる。
