Gonki - Gonki

Japanese: 権記 - ごんき
Gonki - Gonki

The diary of Fujiwara no Yukinari. It is also called "Yukinari Kyoki" and "Gonki" because he was Gon Dainagon. It is a diary covering the 20 years from 991 to 1011 (Shoreki 2 to Kanko 8), but the missing section is from 996 (Chotoku 2). Yukinari served as a benkan (official official) and Kurodono-to (chief of the Chamberlain), and it details his life as a politician at the Imperial Court. It is also very detailed about ceremonies, and there are entries such as "It is in the separate records," which suggests that there may have been separate records of ceremonies. Yukinari was trusted by Emperor Ichijo, and the diary details his close relationship with Fujiwara no Michinaga, making it an important diary for examining the political history of the regents. Yukinari also had excellent handwriting and was commissioned to copy many books, making him a valuable historical resource for learning about court ceremonies, the arts and sciences, and customs of the Heian period. The oldest copy is the 22-volume Fushiminomiya edition, copied in the Kamakura period by the Imperial Household Agency's Archives and Mausolea Department. It is included in the "Augmented Shiryo Taisei" and "Shiryo Sanshu."

Japanese:

藤原行成(ゆきなり)の日記。『行成卿記(ゆきなりきょうき)』ともいい、権大納言(ごんのだいなごん)であったことから、『権記』ともいう。991~1011年(正暦2~寛弘8)の20年間の日記であるが、その間、欠けている部分は996年(長徳2)である。行成は弁官や蔵人頭(くろうどのとう)を勤め、宮廷での政治家としての生活を細かに記している。儀式にも大いに詳しく、「別記に有り」などの記述もみえることから、儀式についての別記も存したかとも思われる。行成は一条(いちじょう)天皇に信任があり、また、藤原道長(みちなが)とたいへん親密であったことなどが事細かに書かれており、摂関政治史をみるうえにだいじな日記である。また、行成は筆跡が優れていたので依頼されて多くの書物を筆写したことなどもみられ、平安朝の朝儀や学芸、風俗を知る好史料である。写本としては宮内庁書陵部の鎌倉時代書写の伏見宮(ふしみのみや)本22巻が最古のものである。『増補史料大成』『史料纂集(さんしゅう)』に所収。
