Sankaiki - Sankaiki

This is the diary of Fujiwara (Nakayama) Tadachika, a nobleman from the end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Kamakura period. Although the number of volumes is unknown and many years are missing, it contains entries spanning 44 years from 1151 (Nihei 1) to 1194 (Kenkyu 5). Tadachika had a villa in Nakayama, east of Kyoto, and rose to the position of Naidaijin, one of the three great courtiers, so the diary was called "Sankaiki." It is also known as "Kireiki." As the diary spans the period from the Taira clan government to the Genpei Civil War, it contains many articles that add important historical facts, such as the birth and accession of Emperor Antoku, the death of Taira Shigemori from illness, the repair of Owada no Tomari by Kiyomori, Emperor Mochihito's uprising and the Battle of Uji, the relocation of the capital to Fukuhara, the accession of Emperor Gotoba to the throne, and the great Genryaku earthquake. The writer, Tadachika, became a monk in 1194 and passed away the following March at the age of 65. This diary has been included in the Shiryo Taisei, with the addition of a category of memorial services.

平安末・鎌倉初頭の公卿(くぎょう)藤原（中山）忠親(ただちか)の日記。巻数不明で年月の欠落も多いが、1151年（仁平1）から1194年（建久5）まで44年間にわたる記事が伝わっている。忠親は洛東(らくとう)中山(なかやま)に別邸があり、三槐の一つ内大臣に昇ったので、その日記を『山槐記』とよんだ。別名『貴嶺(きれい)記』ともいう。平氏政権期から源平内乱期に及ぶので、安徳(あんとく)天皇の誕生・即位、平重盛(しげもり)病死、清盛の大輪田泊(おおわだのとまり)修築、以仁王(もちひとおう)挙兵と宇治(うじ)合戦、福原遷都、後鳥羽(ごとば)天皇即位、元暦(げんりゃく)の大地震など、重要な史実を加える記事が多い。記主忠親は1194年に上表・出家し、翌年3月65歳で世を去った。本日記は除目(じもく)部類を加えて『史料大成』に収録刊行されている。
