Wall inscriptions of the government office - Mankara Begaki

Japanese: 政所壁書 - まんどころかべがき

A collection of laws from the Muromachi Shogunate. It contains wall inscriptions related to the Muromachi Shogunate's Mandokoro. There is a version included in Gunsho Ruiju that contains 12 articles from 1430 (Eikyou 2) to 66 (Bunsho 1), and a copy in the Imperial Household Agency Archives and Mausolea Department that adds four more articles. The Gunsho Ruiju version has a colophon stating that it is based on a copy owned by Ninagawa Chikafumi, a descendant of the Ninagawa clan, the Shogunate's deputy steward of the Mandokoro. In fact, it is noteworthy that it is very closely related to copies of laws in the Ninagawa Family Documents. There are no original laws that exist only in this book, but it is useful for collation with other versions.

室町幕府の法令集。室町幕府政所関係の壁書を収録したもの。1430年(永享2)より66年(文正1)に至る12ヵ条を収める《群書類従》所収本と，それに4ヵ条を付加する宮内庁書陵部所蔵写本がある。《群書類従》本には幕府政所執事代蜷川氏の後裔蜷川親文所持のものに拠った旨の奥書がある。事実《蜷川家文書》にある法令写と非常な親近関係にあることが注目される。本書にのみ存する独自な法令はないが，他本との校合に役立つ。
