scolding - scolding

Japanese: 叱 - しかり

One of the punishments imposed on commoners in the Edo period. The magistrate issues the punishment, and the yoriki releases the perpetrator after receiving a written receipt bearing the joint seal of the sashizoenin. It is the lightest punishment. A slightly heavier punishment is a sharp reprimand. In the provisions of the "Kujikata Osadamegaki," the former is imposed on witnesses to the sale of land and fields, and the latter is imposed on villagers who concealed guns within 10 ri of Edo and in the Imperial Court, as well as in the Kanto region. The Meiji government also followed this and, although not as a name of the punishment, codified the precedent in the revised 1873 law, stating that "those whose crimes are extremely light and whose imprisonment does not exceed 10 days will be released with a simple reprimand." It was abolished on December 31, 1881.

Japanese:

江戸時代，庶人に科せられた刑罰の一つ。奉行がこれを言い渡し，与力が差添人 (さしぞえにん) 連印の請書を取って放免するもの。刑罰としては最も軽い。これよりやや重いものに急度 (きっと) 叱がある。『公事方御定書』の規定では，田畑永代売の証人に前者が，江戸 10里四方ならびに御留場，および関八州で鉄砲を隠し持っていた村方に後者が，それぞれ科せられることになっている。なお，明治政府もこれを踏襲し，刑名としてではないが，1873年の改定律例において，先例を成文化し，「所犯きわめて軽く，罪懲役 10日に及ばざる者は，ただ呵責 (しかり) して放免す」と定めている。 81年 12月 31日廃止。
