Non-human minion - Hininteka

Japanese: 非人手下 - ひにんてか

This was one of the punishments imposed on commoners during the Edo period. In the "Kujikata Osadamegaki," an earlier example is given, "handed over to the head of the hinin in the presence of Danzaemon." In other words, it meant being registered under his name and becoming a hinin. In particularly severe cases, the offender was sent to a distant country to be made a subordinate of a hinin in that country. In the case of a double suicide (mutual death) in which both partners failed to die, both the man and woman were to be exposed to public scrutiny for three days and then handed over to Danzaemon, and in the case of adultery with a sister, aunt, or niece, they were to be made a subordinate of a hinin in that country.

Japanese:

江戸時代，庶人に科せられた刑罰の一つ。『公事方御定書』には，以前よりの例として，「弾左衛門立会いのうえ，非人頭へ渡す」とある。つまり，その籍に入れ，非人としてしまうことをいう。また，特に罪科の重い場合は，遠国に送遣して遠国非人手下とされた。心中 (相対死) して双方とも死にそこなった場合には，男女とも3日さらしのうえ弾左衛門引渡しに，また姉妹，伯母，姪と密通した場合には遠国非人手下にそれぞれ処せられる定めであった。
