Honko Kokushi Diary - Honko Kokushi Diary

Japanese: 本光国師日記 - ほんこうこくしにっき

This is a diary written by Konchiin Suden over a period of 24 years, from 1610 to 1633. It is also called the Kokushi Nikki or Suden Nikki. It has been published in seven volumes by Zoku Gunsho Ruiju Kanseikai. Suden was in Sunpu as a close aide to Tokugawa Ieyasu and was known as the Black Robe Chancellor. The diary contains information on Ieyasu's activities and letters from various feudal lords, making it a useful historical resource for understanding not only the inner workings of the Sunpu government, but also the actual state of the shogunate and feudal domain system at the time. In addition, because Suden was involved in incidents at temples and shrines and in the Buddhist world at the time, the diary records related facts, making it important for understanding the early Edo shogunate's control over temples and shrines.

Japanese:

金地院崇伝が，慶長 15 (1610) 年から寛永 10 (33) 年までの 24年間書き継いだ日記。『国師日記』『崇伝日記』ともいう。続群書類従完成会より7冊で刊行されている。崇伝は徳川家康の側近として駿府におり，黒衣の宰相と呼ばれたが，日記には家康の動静や諸大名からの書状類を収めており，駿府政権の内部のみならず，成立期幕藩制の実態を知るうえでも有用な史料である。また，当時の寺社や仏教界の事件にも崇伝が介入したため，それらの関係事実が記され，江戸幕府の初期寺社統制を知るのに重要である。
