Fudono - Fudono

A place to store documents, books, etc. Also read as "Fumidono." In the Heian period, the Daijokan had the Daijokan Bunden managed by the Daigeki and the Left and Right Bunden managed by the Daishi, and in the Dairi it was the Kyoshoden. As the political power of the In no Gosho grew, the number of Geki officials in the Bunden no Shu, who were responsible for storing documents, increased, and they began to voice their opinions in lawsuits related to territories. From the late Kamakura period onwards, nobles (kugyo) gathered in Bunden to make decisions. In the Kamakura shogunate, it was used to store court documents after decisions had already been made.

文書、書籍などを納めておく所。「ふみどの」とも読む。平安時代、太政官(だいじょうかん)では、大外記(だいげき)の管理する太政官文殿と、左右大史(だいし)の管理する左右文殿があり、内裏(だいり)では校書(きょうしょ)殿がこれにあたる。院の御所では、院の政治力が増すにつれて、文書の保管にあたる「文殿の衆(しゅう)」に外記の官人が増え、彼らが所領関係の訴訟に意見を述べるようになり、鎌倉後期以降、文殿に公卿(くぎょう)が集まり裁決も行われた。鎌倉幕府では裁決済みの裁判関係の書類を保管した。
