Mr. Tateri

Japanese: 立入氏 - たてりうじ

A family of merchants in Kyoto during the Warring States period. In addition to their business of selling clay goods, they were also in charge of the Imperial Palace storehouse, handling the receipt and disbursement of cash and storing rice, grain, clothing, and other items. As their base was located between Nakamikado and Kasuga on Muromachi-dori (present-day Daimon-cho, Kamigyo-ku), they were also called Daimon or Kami-mikura. According to family legend, the Tachiiri family were descended from the Matsuda family, descended from Fujiwara no Hidesato, and lived in Tachiiri, Yasu County, Omi Province, hence the family name Tachiiri. The first lord, Muneyasu, held the position of Imperial Palace storehouse in 1509 (Eisho 6), and the fact that he was able to hold this position, which came with privileges such as exemption from various taxes, is probably related to the fact that the Tachiiri family were related to the Matsuda family, the family of magistrates of the Muromachi shogunate.

Japanese:

戦国時代の京都商人の家。土倉を業とするかたわら，禁裏の御倉を預かり，禁裏の現金の出納や米穀･衣服などの保管をつかさどった。室町通中御門と春日の間(現，上京区大門町)に本拠を置いたことから大門とも上御倉とも称された。立入氏は，家伝によると藤原秀郷の流，松田氏の出で，近江国野洲郡立入に住したので，立入を姓としたという。初代宗康は1509年(永正6)には禁裏御倉職の地位にあったが，諸役免除などの特権が付随するその地位に就きえたことと，立入氏が室町幕府奉行人の家柄である松田氏の同族であったこととは無関係ではあるまい。
