Tsuryo - Tsuryo

Japanese: 津料 - つりょう
Tsuryo - Tsuryo

This refers to the customs fees collected at port checkpoints set up at tsu (ship wharves) and harbors from the end of the Heian period to the Sengoku period. The customs fees are called various names depending on the method of collection, such as shomai (measure of rice) (per stone), okiishi fee (per boat), and mokusen (merchant tax). The customs fees were originally collected to cover port construction costs, but they gradually became an important source of revenue for temples and shrines, manorial lords, jito (land stewards), shugo (military governors), and local lords, and the Muromachi period saw the proliferation of checkpoints. Both the Kamakura and Muromachi Shogunates issued orders prohibiting the collection of customs fees, but it is believed that the ban was actually enforced by the Sengoku daimyo, as can be seen in the Imagawa Kana Mokuroku.

Japanese:

平安末期から戦国期にかけて津(船着き場)や港湾に設けた関所で徴収した関料のこと。津料は、その徴収方法によりさまざまな名称があり、升米(しょうまい)(石別(こくべつ))・置石(おきいし)料(艘別(そうべつ))・商船目銭(もくせん)(商品税)などともよばれる。津料は本来は港湾修築費にあてるために徴収していたが、しだいに寺社、荘園(しょうえん)領主、地頭(じとう)、守護、在地領主らの重要な財源となり、室町期は関所の乱立期となった。鎌倉・室町両幕府は、津料徴収禁止令を出しているが、禁令として実際に効力を発揮したのは「今川仮名目録(いまがわかなもくろく)」にみられるように戦国大名によるものであったと考えられる。
