Shuinchi - Shuinchi

Japanese: 朱印地 - しゅいんち
Shuinchi - Shuinchi

In the early modern period, this refers to land whose ownership was guaranteed by red seal letters issued by the Toyotomi clan and successive Tokugawa shoguns, and most of these were temple and shrine red seal land. The number of temples and shrines granted red seal land tended to increase until the fourth shogun, Ietsuna, but remained stable thereafter, and owning red seal land became a sign of the status of a temple or shrine. When the kokudaka of the red seal land was large, the temple or shrine directly owned the land by appointing a deputy as the lord and collecting annual taxes and various duties from the farmers on the temple or shrine land, but when the kokudaka of the red seal land was small, the ruling lord of the area exempted them from paying annual taxes and duties on the red seal land.

Japanese:

近世期、豊臣(とよとみ)氏や徳川歴代将軍の朱印状によって領有が保証された土地をいうが、その多くは寺社朱印地である。朱印地を与えられた寺社の数は、4代将軍家綱(いえつな)までは増加傾向にあるが、その後はほとんど固定して、朱印地をもつことが寺社の一つの格式を示すようになる。朱印地石高(こくだか)の大きい場合、寺社は領主として代官などを置いて寺社領農民から年貢・諸役を徴収するなど直接の領有をするが、朱印地石高の小さい場合は、その地域の支配領主から朱印地高の年貢・課役を免除される形となる。
