Jyomai - Jyomai

Japanese: 城米 - じょうまい
Jyomai - Jyomai
During the Edo period, rice was stored in the castles of the Shogunate and fudai daimyo. It began as military rice stored in castles by Sengoku daimyo in preparation for emergencies, and during the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a castle rice magistrate was in office. In the first half of the 17th century, the Edo Shogunate provided fudai daimyo with rice as annual tax payment from the Shogunate, forcing them to store rice. It was managed by the castle lord, and was passed down along with the castle's weapons even when the lord changed. It was mainly allocated in the Kanto, Tokai, and Kinai regions, taking into consideration the need to send it to Edo or Osaka in the event of an emergency. Initially, it had a strong military character, but in the later stages, it was used to supplement the Shogunate's finances, such as for famine relief and to regulate rice prices, and it came to be called "Goyomai."

Japanese:
江戸時代,幕府領及び譜代大名の城に貯蔵された米穀。戦国大名が有事に備えて諸城に貯蔵した兵粮米に始まり,豊臣秀吉時代に,城米奉行が在任。江戸幕府は17世紀前半,譜代大名に幕領年貢米を供与するなどして詰米(つめまい)させた。城主が管理し,城付き武具とともに城主が交代しても引き継がれた。非常の際の江戸廻送,大坂廻送を考慮し,関東・東海・畿内を中心に配置。当初は軍事的性格が強かったが,後半には飢饉救済,米価調節など幕府財政補填のために払米され,御用米と唱えた。
