The Great Secret of the Great Encyclopedia

Japanese: 大槐秘抄 - たいかいひしょう

A political opinion document from the mid-Heian period. 1 volume. Written by Fujiwara no Koremichi (1093-1165), Grand Minister of State. Completed around 2000 (62). Presented to Emperor Nijō, written in kana. During the Insei period, court ceremonies and other practices tended to become lax, so this document outlines over 20 articles on the Emperor's mental attitude, his attitude toward his subjects, his proactive stance toward politics, and how daily life should be conducted. It includes 17 articles of guidelines modelled on Prince Shotoku's Seventeen-Article Constitution. It is not merely a nostalgic argument for restoring old customs, but also takes the reality of the increase in manors seriously, arguing that manors and fiefdoms should be given to nobles to stabilize their lives. It is included in Gunsho Ruiju.
