Nobemai

A type of additional tax in the Edo period. It is also called nobekoku or dememaikome. In the beginning, mainly in the Kanto region, rice tax was paid in a heap in a masu (box), but in 1616 (Genwa 2), the heap was scraped off with a tokaki (a wooden scraper), and instead, two sho were added to a 3 to 5 sho bale, which was paid as 3 to 7 sho. These two sho were called nobekoku, and this system was called 37 nobe, and in the Kanto and Tokai regions, it was also called honkoku hakaridate. The ratio of nobekoku to 46 sho varied depending on the region, and there was an example of 4 to 6 sho for one koku in the Takasaki domain. This old custom continued even after the Meiji Restoration, but was abolished with the land tax reform.

江戸時代の付加税の一種。延石(のべこく)、出目米(でめまい)ともいう。関東を中心に当初、年貢米は枡(ます)に山盛りにして納めていたが、1616年（元和2）に山盛りの分を斗掻(とか)きによって掻き落とし、そのかわりに三斗五升の俵に二升を加えて三斗七升として納入した。この二升を延米とよび、この制度を三七の延(のべ)といい、関東・東海地方では本石斗立(ほんこくはかりだて)ともいった。地方によって四六の延など延米の割合も異なり、高崎藩領での一石に四斗六升の例もある。維新後も旧慣として続いたが、地租改正によって消滅した。
