Right-handed writing - Yuhitugaki

Japanese: 右筆書 - ゆうひつがき

A term used in paleography. Generally, documents issued by nobles and written by retainers on their behalf are called yuhitsusho. Yuhitsu is also written as yuhitsu or yuhitsu, meaning to assist the writer, and its job was to draft and transcribe documents issued by nobles. Yuhitsusho can be interpreted in two ways, broadly and narrowly, and in the broad sense it can include so-called hosho, which are issued by the yuhitsu bugyo under his own name. Examples of yuhitsusho include imperial edicts, imperial orders, and imperial instructions for courtiers, and hosho for samurai documents issued by the magistrates of the Muromachi shogunate.

古文書学上の用語。一般に，貴人の出す文書で主人に代わって侍臣が書いたものを，右筆書という。右筆は，祐筆，佑筆とも書き，筆を助けるの意で，貴人発給文書の文案作成，浄書を職掌とする。右筆書には広狭2とおりの解釈があり，広い意味では，右筆奉行がみずからの名を署して発給する，いわゆる奉書を含める場合がある。公家文書の院宣，綸旨（りんじ），御教書（みぎようしよ）等，武家文書の室町幕府奉行人奉書などがこれである。
