Payment in cash - Daisen nou

Japanese: 代銭納 - だいせんのう

A system of monetary payment in lieu of in-kind payment of taxes and public duties in medieval manors, kokuga lands, or samurai territories. It came into practice in many manors in the middle and late Kamakura period. Regionally, there are many examples of this system in manors along the Sanyo, Tokaido, and Tosando roads, but it spread to almost the entire country during the Nanboku-cho period. This phenomenon is based on various historical conditions, such as the increase in productivity in agriculture and industry during the Kamakura period, the establishment of periodic markets in manors and kokuga lands, the inflow and domestic circulation of coins due to trade between Japan and the Song dynasty and Japan and Yuan dynasty, and the development of a commodity-based economy in the capital and the countryside.

Japanese:

中世の荘園，国衙領，あるいは武家領における年貢･公事の現物納に代わる銭納の制度。鎌倉中･末期には数多くの荘園で行われるようになった。地域的には山陽道，東海道，東山道方面荘園にその事例が多いが，南北朝時代にはほぼ全国的に普及した。これは鎌倉時代における農工等生産力の向上，荘園･国衙領内定期市の成立，日宋･日元貿易による銭貨流入と国内流通，都鄙（とひ）における商品貨幣経済の進展といった歴史的諸条件にもとづく現象といえる。
