Japanese: 伺事記録 - うかがいごときろく
Record of interviews - Record of interviews

A record of the contents and outcome of inquiries made by the Muromachi Shogunate. Two volumes in total. One is the record of the Shogunate magistrate Iio Mototsura in 1490 (Entoku 2), and the other is the record of Mototsura's grandson and fellow Shogunate magistrate Iio Takatsura from 1539 to 1547 (Tenbun 8 to 16). The latter contains many copies of letters of opinion written by the Shogunate's right-hand man and others in response to the Shogun's inquiries.

The "shiji" system was established in the late Muromachi period when the previous litigation system, the "hikitsuke" system, had become a mere formality, and it was a procedure in which the shogunate's magistrates would submit the results of deliberations on litigation and other matters to the shogun for his approval. Although the main subject of the shiji was litigation, it also broadly extended to general government affairs, and it is said to have been a system suited to the movement for the shogun's personal discretion, which had been extremely strengthened in form, regardless of substance, since the sixth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshinori (reigned 1429-41).

室町幕府の伺事に関して、その内容および落居(らっきょ)(裁定)の結論を記録した控え。前後2冊。1冊は幕府奉行人(ぶぎょうにん)飯尾元連(いのおもとつら)の1490年(延徳2)の記録、1冊は元連の孫で同じく幕府奉行人の飯尾堯連(たかつら)の1539~47年(天文8~16)の間の記録。後者には、将軍の諮問に幕府右筆方(ゆうひつかた)などが答えた意見状の写しが多く含まれている。

 伺事とは、室町後期、従来の訴訟制度であった引付(ひきつけ)制が形骸(けいがい)化したのに伴い制度化されたもので、幕府の奉行人が訴訟その他の事項に関して合議した結果を将軍に上申してその決裁を仰ぐ手続をいう。伺事の内容は訴訟が主体であるが、広く一般政務にも及び、6代足利義教(あしかがよしのり)(在位1429~41)以降、実質はともかく形式的には極度に強化された将軍親裁の動きに見合った制度であるとされる。
