Ransom - Shindai kagiri

Japanese: 身代限 - しんだいかぎり

〘Noun〙① From the Edo period to the Meiji period, when someone was unable to pay their debts, the government would issue a sentence and enforce the execution, forcing them to provide all of their assets to pay off their debts. Those who received this punishment lost all of their rights and qualifications as ordinary people until they paid off all of their outstanding debts. Furthermore, the obligation to pay off the outstanding debts extended to their descendants. It was abolished in 1891 ( Meiji 24 ) with the enforcement of the old Commercial Code. It is equivalent to modern-day bankruptcy. Runaway. ※Kinryo Ko - Goshu, Volume 2, Volume 13, June 1721 (Kyoho 6) "I will apply for the entire runaway, and if you are borrowing from a shop, all your belongings _will be taken _away ." ② To pour all of one's assets into something. To give away everything that belongs to oneself. Runaway. ※Sakehon, Tanka Shibetsuha (1786) "'Excuse me for bothering you, but let me have a cigarette,' he said, gently holding out a silver coin. It was as if he was cutting his own body."
