Tokugawa Jikki

This is a record of the Tokugawa Shogunate from the first Shogun Ieyasu to the tenth Shogun Ieharu. The main part is a chronological record of the political achievements of each Shogun, and the appendix is ​​a collection of their wise words and good deeds. The real name is "Go-Jikki" and "Tokugawa-Jikki" is the common name. Apart from "Toshogu (Ieyasu) Go-Jikki," each Shogun is given a posthumous name, and the titles include "Taitokuin-den (the second Shogun Hidetada) Go-Jikki." Written by Narushima Motonao under the direction of Daigaku no Kami Hayashi Taira (Shosai), the draft was prepared in 1809 (Bunka 6), the original was completed in 1843 (Tenpo 14), and the copy in 1849 (Kaei 2). The total number of volumes is 516, including 447 main volumes, 68 appendices, and one volume of completed works, a general catalogue, and a bibliography of citations. In Japan, it was modeled after the Montoku Annals and the Sandai Annals, and in China, the Tang Dynasty's Shunzong Annals and the Ming and Qing Dynasties' Annals. It is written in a fluent, mixed-katakana style and is accurate in its descriptions, but it has a flaw in that it praises the achievements of the shoguns too much. Its sequel, the Tokugawa Jikki Continued, covers the period from the 11th shogun, Ienari, to the 15th shogun, Yoshinobu. However, only the two shoguns, Ienari and Ieyoshi, are compiled, while the other three shoguns merely have historical materials arranged and accompanying documents added. The editing is the same as the main volume. Editing continued until 1870 (Meiji 3). It is included in the New Revised and Enlarged National History Series (Sho 38-47, Zoku 48-52), edited by Kuroita Katsumi.

初代家康(いえやす)以来10代家治(いえはる)に至る徳川将軍の実録。本編には編年体で歴代将軍の政治的業績を収録し、付録にはその嘉言(かげん)・善行を集め記す。本名は『御実紀』で、『徳川実紀』は俗称。「東照宮（家康）御実紀」のほかは歴代ごとに諡(おくりな)を冠して、「台徳院殿(たいとくいんでん)（2代秀忠(ひでただ)）御実紀」などと題をつけた。大学頭(だいがくのかみ)林衡(たいら)（述斎）総裁のもと、成島司直(なるしまもとなお)が執筆、1809年（文化6）に稿をおこして1843年（天保14）に正本、1849年（嘉永2）に副本が完成。本編447冊、付録68冊、ほか成書例・総目録・引用書目1巻を加えて総計516冊。日本では『文徳(もんとく)実録』『三代実録』を、中国では唐の『順宗実録』や明(みん)朝・清(しん)朝の実録を模範とした。達意の仮名交じり文で記述は正確だが、将軍の事績を褒めすぎたのが欠点。その続編が『続徳川実紀』で11代家斉(いえなり)から15代慶喜(よしのぶ)に及ぶ。ただし家斉・家慶(いえよし)2代だけが整備、他の3代は史料を配列、綱文をつけたにすぎない。編修の体は正編に同じ。編修は1870年（明治3）まで続行された。黒板勝美監修『新訂増補　国史大系』（正38～47、続48～52）に所収。
