The Chronicles of Sukekatsu

Japanese: 資勝卿記 - すけかつきょうき

This is the diary of Hino Sukekatsu (1577-1639), a Grand Minister of State with the second rank. It is also called Ryogen'in-ki after his posthumous name. There are relatively many surviving copies, and many missing years, but the Nijiki covers the period from 1612 (Keicho 17) to 1638 (Kan'ei 15), and there are also other diaries such as the Jingu-ki (1597-99, 1619-20) and Bunryu (1637). Sukekatsu was close to Tokugawa Ieyasu from an early stage, and as he served as a military messenger for nine years from 1630 to 1639, there are many interesting articles on that subject scattered throughout the diary, which are generally quite detailed.

Japanese:

正二位権大納言日野資勝(1577‐1639)の日記。法名にちなみ《涼源院記》ともいう。伝存写本は割合に多く，また欠逸年月が多いが，日次記は1612年(慶長17)より38年(寛永15)までで，ほかに〈神宮記〉(1597‐99,1619‐20)，〈文留〉(1637)などの別記が存する。資勝は早くから徳川家康に昵近（じつきん）し，ことに1630年より39年まで9年間武家伝奏を務めたため，その方面での興味深い記事が散見し，記事は概して詳細である。
