Religious sect registration - Religious sect registration

Japanese: 宗門人別改帳 - しゅうもんにんべつあらためちょう

In the Edo period, this was a basic household register prepared by each village (town) and submitted to the feudal lord. It is also called the shumon jinbetsucho (religious sect register), shuji jinbetsucho (religious principle register), or shumon taicho (religious sect register). Originally, the shumon taicho (religious sect register) was conducted separately to suppress Christians, and the jinbetsu taicho (religious sect register) was conducted to check the feudal lord's ability to pay for household labor. However, after the Kanbun period (1666-1673), these were combined and institutionalized. In the case of Shogunate territories, the names and ages of the head of the household, family members, servants, and subordinates, as well as the temple of the temple of each person were recorded, and the temple of the temple of each person was stamped with the seal of the temple of the temple to prove that they were not Christians. For the head of the household, the status, land holdings, number of cattle and horses, etc. were generally also recorded, but the format varied depending on the feudal domain. Until the Jinshin Koseki was created in 1872, this played the role of the current family register.

江戸時代，村（町）ごとに作成，領主に提出された戸口の基礎台帳。宗門人別帳・宗旨人別帳・宗門改帳などともいう。元来は別々に行われていたキリシタン禁圧のための宗門改と，領主による夫役負担能力把握を目的とする人別改とが，寛文期（1666年―1673年）以降，複合化し制度化された。幕府領の場合には家ごとに戸主・家族成員・奉公人・下人などの名・年齢，各人ごとの檀那寺を記し，キリシタンでないことを証明する檀那寺の印が押され，戸主には身分・持高・牛馬数なども併記されるのが一般的であるが，藩により形式は様々であった。1872年に壬申戸籍が作成されるまで，現在の戸籍台帳の役割を果した。
