Chronicles of Emperor Uda

Japanese: 宇多天皇御記 - うだてんのうぎょき

This is the diary of Emperor Uda during his reign. It is also called Kanpei-goki. It is known from Hanazono Tenno-goki that it originally consisted of 10 volumes, but it has been lost and is no longer known. This diary appears to have been highly valued since ancient times for providing precedents for political ceremonies, and is quoted in various books, including ritual books such as Nishinomiya-ki and Ononomiya Nenchu-gyoji. Collections and compilations of these lost writings are included in Zokuzoku Gunsho Ruiju, Retsusei Zenshu, and Zoho Shiryo Taisei. [Yoshioka Saneyuki]

宇多天皇の在位中の日記。《寛平御記》ともいう。もと10巻あったことが《花園天皇御記》によって知られるが，現在は散逸して伝わらない。政事儀式の先例を知る上でこの日記は古くから重んじられたとみえ，《西宮記》《小野宮年中行事》などの儀式書をはじめ諸書に引用されている。これらの逸文を収集編纂したものが《続々群書類従》《列聖全集》《増補史料大成》などに収められている。【吉岡真之】
