Record of the Imperial Inheritance of Japan - Honcho Koinjounroku

Japanese: 本朝皇胤紹運録 - ほんちょうこういんじょううんろく

A genealogy of the Imperial family since the Age of the Gods. It is believed to have been compiled around 1426 by Toin Mitsusue, the adopted son of Toin Kinsada, the editor of Sonpi Bunmyaku, under imperial command, and the title is thought to have been modeled after the Chinese Song Dynasty's Rekidai Teio Shaounzu. Initially, it was limited to the period up to Emperor Shoko, but Sanjonishi Sanetaka continued it, and it was expanded until modern times. It lists the lineage of successive imperial descendants since Kuninotokotachi no Mikoto (Kuninotokotachi no Mikoto) in the Age of the Gods, and includes brief biographies. It is considered to be the most reliable Imperial family genealogy, as it is also included in the genealogy section of the large Edo period collection Gunsho Ruiju.

神代以来の皇室の系図。『尊卑分脈』の編者である洞院公定の猶子，洞院満季（とういんみつすえ）が勅命を受けて，応永33（1426）年頃編纂したものとされ，書名は中国，宋の『歴代帝王紹運図』にならったものとみられる。当初，称光天皇頃までを収載の下限としていたが，三条西実隆が書き継ぎ，その後近代まで増補が行なわれた。神代のクニノトコタチノミコト（国常立尊）以来，歴代の皇胤の系譜を掲げ，簡単な伝記が付されている。江戸時代の一大叢書『群書類従』の系譜部にも収録されているなど，最も信頼しうる皇室系図とされる。
