A little-used diary written by Prince Akihiro, a sixth-generation descendant of Emperor Kazan who was adopted by a mid-ranking Minamoto. Akihiro served at the Jingikan (Department of Divine Affairs), and his diary, which unfortunately is scattered and incomplete, contains entries for the years 1161–1178. Ategawa. See Kii no kuni Ategawa no shò shiryò Azuma kagami. Shintei zòho kokushi taikei, volumes 32–33. Tokyo: Yoshikawa kòbunkan , 1936. ———. Compiled by Nagahara Keiji and Kishi Shòzò. 6 volumes. Tokyo: Shinjinbutsu jûraisha, 1976–1979. Cited as Azuma kagami. The official chronicle of the Kamakura Bakufu for the years 1180–1266. Though many details are offered for the early years of the bakufu, this source has the typical weaknesses of an official history, as it attempts to legitimize the Hòjò family’s control of the shogunate. It is probably most reliable for its historical contents for the later years. Chûsei hòsei shiryò shî. Ed. Satò Shin’ichi and Ikeuchi Yoshisuke. Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1987. A compilation of warrior law codes and other legal edicts issued during the Kamakura and Muromachi eras. Chûyûki. Zòho shiryò taisei, volumes 9–14. Kyoto: Rinsen shoten, 1965. Fujiwara no Munetada’s (1062–1141) diary begins in 1087 and ends in 1139. Munetada was a mid-ranking Fujiwara who reached the top level within the imperial hierarchy , but it is in particular his years as head administrator for the chieftain that gives his diary a unique insight. By far one of the most important sources for the early insei era, giving an insider’s view not only of the issues facing the clan as a whole but also of the procedures that mid- to high-level courtiers occupied themselves with. 426 References Dainihon shiryò. Series 1–6. Ed. Shiryò hensan kakari. Tokyo: Tokyo daigaku zòhan, 1926–. Cited as DNS. The most ambitious collection of sources of premodern Japanese history. Now almost three-quarters of a century in the making, the series publishes historical documents in chronological order. There are several series in this collection, and most are yet to be completed. Though the Dainihon shiryò lacks an index, it is the most helpful source collection for a chronological approach. The scholar must proceed with caution, though, as some of the early volumes have many errors and misprints. Daisenji engi. Unpublished document at Tòkyò daigaku shiryò hensanjo. A chronicle of Daisenji, written mostly in the form of a hagiography. Unfortunately, the original document, believed to date from the early Muromachi period (probably from 1398), was destroyed in a fire on 1925/4/22. The version that remains available today is compiled from shahon (copies of the original) from Tokyo University and Tòkyò kokuritsu hakubutsukan. It contains several pictorial representations of the activities of the monks at Daisenji, which was a powerful monastic center outside the capital region. Denryaku. Dainihon kokiroku, volume 4, parts 1–4. Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1956. The diary of Fujiwara no Tadazane (1078–1162), who served as clan chieftain from 1099 and as regent on several occasions. The diary that remains covers the years from 1098 to 1118. It is a valuable source for the struggles of the chieftain during Shirakawa's years, but many entries are disappointingly brief even regarding important events. DNS. See Dainihon shiryò Entairyaku. 7 volumes. In Shiryò sekishû: kokiroku hen. Tokyo: Zoku gunsho ruijû kanseikai, 1970–1986. An extensive diary written by Tòin Kinkata (1291–1360), covering almost five decades from 1311 to his death. A valuable source for various aspects of the first half of the fourteenth century, offering great insights into political circumstances. The diary also contains frequent references to precedents and entries dating to the thirteenth century. Fushimi in goki (Fushimi tennò shinki). Zòho shiryò taisei, volume 3. Kyoto: Rinsen shoten, 1965. The diary of Emperor Fushimi (1265–1317), covering the years 1287–1311. Only nine of the original scrolls written by the emperor himself remain today. Nevertheless , it is a valuable source for the late Kamakura period, since Fushimi, as the son of Go-Fukakusa of the Jimyòin line, was involved in the split of the imperial line. Fusò ryakki...
