Secret savings - Secret savings
Hesokuri generally refers to assets that are private to the public and somewhat secret to the public. The word hesokuri is used nationwide, but there are various regional variations, such as Horita, Homachi, Shingye, Shingai, and Hekozeni. It is said that the word hesokuri may have come from the fact that women would keep some of their hemp cloth for themselves when purchasing clothing. In other words, hesokuri is thought to have started with secretly saving a portion of a family's public assets. However, many private assets were publicly recognized and carried out openly.

Japanese:
公に対して私の,公開に対して多少とも秘密的な財産を一般にヘソクリという。ヘソクリという言葉が全国的に通用しているがホリタ,ホマチ,シンゲエ,シンガイ,ヘコゼニなど地域によってさまざまな語彙がある。ヘソクリという言葉は女たちが衣服の調達にあたって苧ベソの幾分かを私したことからでたのではないかといわれている。つまり家族の公の財産の一部をないしょに蓄えることからヘソクリは始まったと考えられる。しかし多くの私財は公にも認められ公然と行われていた。
