These diary entries, made by Inryōken, a Zen priest (which accounts for the difficulty of the text, based as they were mainly on Chinese originals, which meant the extensive use of Chinese symbolism and language), describes the actions of Tatemachi Izu no Kami of Enuma gun, who for six years had not paid his temple dues (to Daikeiji). He was thus being ordered to pay 1,000 kanmon as a settlement. To make this official, both he, Shōkōji, the Gun ikki of Enuma, and the myōshu representatives of the peasantry were being invited to Kyoto for a hearing at Rokuonji, where they were to present evidence (if necessary). For this act, Inryōken received a gift of thanks from Taketa Hōin.

Inryōken then received draft proposals for the four parties and a letter from Daikeiji, which were then passed on to Rokuon, which was ordered to create an official document (or documents) based on the drafts. Inryōken then describes the owner of Daikeiji as the son of Taketa Hōin, a Zen priest by the name of Tōfukuji Hōtōin Nai Sushōken, and describes where Daikeiji is. He also mentions that Beigun is in territory belonging to Nakanoin and is well acquainted with the antics of Tatemachi Izu no Kami. Inryōken states that this son of Hōin has often visited Shun Jōshi, but he (Inryōken) has never personally met him. The rest of the monjō deals with the sending of messengers relaying the content of the action against Tatemachi and visits to other priests. The significance of this document is in the presence of three other representatives of Enuma at the meeting at Shōkokuji. Surprisingly enough, Shōkōji and the Enuma gun are referred to separately, which may suggest that the gun was operating outside of Shōkōji`s influence, or it may indicate that Shōkōji and the gun were synonymous with each other.
