Pawnbroker

Japanese: 質地 - しっち
Pawnbroker
Under the Ritsuryo system, reclaimed land was pawned as collateral for loans of money. This practice became common after the Kamakura period, when land was privately owned, and during the Edo period, land was pawned as a means of financing due to the prohibition on the sale and purchase of land. When the pawned land expired, it was returned to its former owner, but most of it was sold off.

Japanese:
金銭貸借のとき,担保物件として入れた田畑
律令制下では墾田が質入れされた。鎌倉時代以降は土地私有のため盛行し,江戸時代は田畑永代売買禁止令のため,金融手段として質地が行われた。質地季明けとともに旧主に戻されるが,大部分質流れした。
