Tokitsugukyoki

Records of the Sengoku period. 37 original volumes. This is the diary of Gon Dainagon Yamashina Tokitsugu, and the articles cover the period from 1527 to 1576 (Taei 7 to Tensho 4). The Yamashina family hereditarily held the position of Kuraryo no Kami and also served as the head of the Gakusho and Gofukusho, so the articles are rich in information about the imperial economy, court etiquette, and clothing. The Yamashina family was also highly trusted by both Emperor Gonara and Emperor Ogimachi, and the records of his intermediation between the Sengoku daimyo, such as the Imagawa clan, the Tokugawa clan, and the Kitabatake clan, to procure offerings are valuable. He also practiced medicine as a side job, providing medical treatment not only to the courtiers (nobles) but also to commoners, and so the book contains detailed records of the activities of the townspeople and citizens of Kyoto, and not just records the relationship between the Imperial Court and the samurai, but also vividly depicts the true nature of town self-governance in Kyoto during the Warring States period, and the self-defense and self-punishment practices of the townspeople, making it one of the most important historical documents of the Warring States period. There are several published versions.

戦国時代の記録。原本37冊。権大納言(ごんだいなごん)山科(やましな)言継の日記で、記事は1527～76年（大永7～天正4）に及ぶ。山科家は内蔵寮頭(くらりょうのかみ)を世襲し、楽所(がくしょ)・御服所(ごふくしょ)の別当を兼ねていた関係で、記事は皇室経済、有職故実(ゆうそくこじつ)、服飾関係に富み、また後奈良(ごなら)・正親町(おおぎまち)両天皇の信任が厚く、供御(くご)調達のため今川氏、徳川氏、北畠(きたばたけ)氏ら戦国大名の間を周旋した記録は貴重。また彼自身副業として医薬を営み、堂上(とうじょう)（公家(くげ)）のみならず庶民の間にも施薬診療したので、京都の市井、町衆(まちしゅう)の活動状況が詳細に記録され、単に朝廷・武家関係の記録のみならず、戦国期京都の町の自治の実相、町衆による自衛・自検断(じけんだん)の実態が活写され、戦国期屈指の重要史料である。数種の刊本がある。
