The diary of Chikatoshi Ninagawa

Japanese: 蜷川親俊日記 - にながわちかとしにっき

This is the diary of Ninagawa Chikatoshi (?-1569), who served as Mandokorodai during the reign of the 12th Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Handwritten diary entries from 1538 (Tenbun 7) to 1542, as well as fragments from 1549 to 1552 remain. Due to the nature of his job, many of the entries report on developments around the Shogun, but there are also detailed articles about his master, the Ise clan, and his own control over their territories, making the diary a valuable resource for considering land control at the end of the manor system. Included in the Literature University History Series and Continued Historical Materials Collection. [Kuwayama Kozen]

室町幕府12代将軍足利義晴の時期に政所代（まんどころだい）をつとめた蜷川親俊(？‐1569)の日記。1538年(天文7)より42年までの自筆日記と49年より52年の残簡が残る。職務柄，将軍周辺の動向を伝える記事が多いが，主家である伊勢氏や自家の所領支配に関する記事にも詳しく，荘園制末期における土地支配を考える資料としても貴重である。《文科大学史誌叢書》《続史料大成》所収。【桑山浩然】
