Masamoto's Travel Companion

Japanese: 政基公旅引付 - まさもとこうたびひきつけ

This is a diary written by former regent Kujo Masamoto during the Sengoku period. It is a diary of his visit to Hine-sho, Izumi Province (present-day Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture), which was his family territory, from March 1501 to December 1504, and the original title is "Travel Diary." It includes personal matters, but since he was actually involved in the affairs of the manor as the lord of Hine-sho, it has a strong character as a document of his time. With the support of the power of the Kanrei Hosokawa clan, with whom he had a close relationship, Masamoto visited the manor himself and attempted to restore the manor, which was in a critical state due to samurai seizures, by taking direct control of it. The contents include detailed descriptions of the activities of the manor lord, the Muromachi Shogunate, and the shugo (military governor) regarding the manor, the specific details of daily life in the soson (village) at the time, and the movements of resistance against the rulers through uprisings and flight by the soson (village). It is considered a rare historical document that gives us an insight into the state of manors in the Warring States period, as the manor lord stayed in the area for four years and described what he saw with his own eyes. → Kujo Family

戦国時代に前関白九条政基が記した日記。文亀１年（1501年）３月から永正１年（1504年）12月まで家領(けりょう)の和泉国日根荘（現大阪府泉佐野市）に下向(げこう)した時の日記で，原題に〈旅引付〉とある。私的な内容も含まれるが，日根荘で荘園領主として実際に荘務に携わったため，その際の証拠的記録としての性格が強い。政基は縁故関係にあった管領(かんれい)細川氏の力を背景に，自ら現地に下向し，武士の押領(おうりょう)などによって危機的状態にあった荘園の回復を直務(じきむ)支配というかたちで図ろうとしていた。内容は，荘園をめぐる荘園領主・室町幕府・守護などの動向，当時の惣村(そうそん)の日常生活の具体的様子，惣村の一揆・逃散(ちょうさん)などによる支配者への抵抗の動きなどが詳細に記述される。荘園領主が４年間現地に滞在し，自らの目で捉えたことを記述したという点で，戦国時代の荘園の様相を知ることのできる稀有な史料とされている。→九条家
