Riden

Japanese: 利田 - りでん

In the late Heian period, this refers to fields on which the provincial government office imposed taxes and official property without conducting field inspections. Around the middle of the 12th century, a dispute arose over the system of official property rates for the public fields of Todaiji-owned Kuroda and Tamataki manors in Iga Province. According to historical documents from that time, there were three methods for collecting official property from public fields of Todaiji-owned Kuroda and Tamataki manors: (1) determining the number of fields according to the old field documents without conducting field inspections, (2) determining the number of fields through field inspections, and (3) determining the number of fields by submitting a request for profitable fields without conducting field inspections. During the process of the transformation of the ancient public land acquisition system, a profitable field rate collection system emerged in which profitable fields were allocated to the fields, and eventually the fields that were to bear the profitable fields were fixed, and the terms "profitable fields" and "profitable fields" were established.

平安後期，検田によらずに国衙から租税官物を賦課された田地のこと。12世紀半ばころ，伊賀国の東大寺領黒田･玉滝両荘民の出作公田における官物段別率法をめぐる紛争が起こった。そのさいの史料によると，出作公田の官物徴収に当たっては，(1)検田を行わず旧田文にしたがって田数を確定する，(2)検田により田数を確定する，(3)検田を行わず利田請文の提出によって田数を確定するという，3通りの方法があった。古代の公出挙（くすいこ）制変質の過程で，利稲分を田地に率する(割り当てる)利稲率徴制が出現し，やがて利稲を負担する田地が固定化して〈利稲田〉〈利田〉が成立した。
