Yasutomi's Chronicle

This is the diary of Gon Daigeki Nakahara Yasutomi (1400-57). It has been extant in parts from 1417 (Oei 24), when his father Hidetaka died, until 1455 (Kosho 1), when he was 56 years old. It contains not only articles about the Imperial Court, but also many about matters in the city. The position of Gon Daigeki, which belongs to the Shonagon Bureau of the Daijokan (Grand Council of State), is a low but important position, and has been hereditary for generations, both in the Kiyohara and Nakahara clans. However, Yasutomi's family was originally from the Minamoto clan, and from the end of the Kamakura period, they called themselves the Nakahara clan and were appointed as Gon Daigeki for generations, with the highest position being Gon Daigeki, and they were usually appointed as Hyuga no Kami and Hayato no Kami. The 92 volumes of the handwritten version are currently held by the National Diet Library, along with one volume of his father Hidetaka's diary. Included in "Shiriryo Taisei."

権大外記(ごんのだいげき)中原康富(やすとみ)（1400―57）の日記。父英隆(ひでたか)が死んだ1417年（応永24）から55年（康正1）56歳のときまで、断続して現存。朝廷の記事ばかりでなく、市中の事柄も多くみられる。太政官(だいじょうかん)の少納言(しょうなごん)局に属する外記の職は、地位は低いが重職で、代々清原・中原両氏が世襲してきた。しかし康富の一流は、もと源氏の出で、鎌倉末期から中原氏を称し、外記として代々登用されるようになり、権大外記を最高の官とし、日向守(ひゅうがのかみ)・隼人正(はやとのかみ)に任じられるのを常とした。自筆本92巻が父英隆の日記一巻とともに国会図書館に現蔵。『史料大成』所収。
