Shop lease - Tanagari

Japanese: 店借 - たながり

A term used by the subjugated classes in early modern Japan to refer to a household head who did not own his or her own house, but rented a house owned by someone else and used it for the benefit of his or her residence. A synonym is rented house (kashiya or shayakuya), which is considered to be roughly synonymous, but originally, renting a house meant renting the entire house, and renting a shop meant renting only a portion of the house. Like land renting, renting a house or shop was not originally a specific status or class in itself, but a temporary position or state in which the subjugated classes such as farmers, townspeople, and craftsmen found themselves.

Japanese:

日本近世の被支配諸身分のもので，家屋敷を所持せず，他人の所持する家屋敷を賃借し，住居として用益する状態の戸主をいう。類語に借家(屋)（かしや∥しやくや）があり，ほぼ同義ともみられるが，本源的には，家屋敷の全部を賃借するものを借家といい，家屋敷の部分を賃借するものを店借と呼んだと考えられる。借家･店借は，地借と同様に，本来はそれ自体固有の身分･階層ではなく，百姓･町人･諸職人などの被支配諸身分のものが一時的におかれている地位･状態である。
