Daily money shop - Hizeniya

Japanese: 日銭屋 - ひぜにや

Like the dogura, it was a financial institution in the Middle Ages, but its users were smaller than those of the dogura. During the Muromachi period, there were 40 dogura in Kitano, Kyoto. Liquor store There was one daily money shop for every 1000 shops. The Muromachi Shogunate Law states that all businesses within and outside Kyoto such as sake shops, earthen storehouses, and miso shops were required to pay taxes, except for those selling sake (ukezake), miso, and daily money shops, so it is clear that daily money shops were exempt from taxes (public duties). Therefore, after the Onin War, it is said that an increasing number of sake shops and earthen storehouses became vassals of powerful families in order to avoid paying taxes, or operated under the guise of selling sake or miso, secretly taking pawned goods, and operating their businesses.

Japanese:

土倉と同じく中世の金融業で，利用者は土倉より零細であった。室町期の京都北野では土倉40ヵ所，酒屋ヵ所に対して日銭屋1ヵ所があった。室町幕府法には，洛中洛外酒屋土倉並びに味噌屋等役銭は，請酒（うけざけ）･請味噌･日銭屋のほかはつとむべきことが記されているので，日銭屋は役銭(公役)を免除されていたことがわかる。したがって，応仁の乱後，酒屋･土倉のなかには課役を逃れるため，権門勢家の被官となったり，あるいは請酒屋･請味噌屋などと号し，隠れて質物をとって営業するものが増加したという。
