戦国II (Kano Historical Resources, Sengoku II, Jūrinin Naifuki, Bunmei 14 (Various Dates), 1482)
「十輪院内府記」文明十四年閏七月十八日条・二十五条・二十六条・八月三日条・四日条・五日条・六日条・八日条・十四日条・二十二日条・二十八条・九月一日条・三日条・四日条・五日条・六日条・七日条・八日条・十六日条・二十一日条・二十九日条 (Jūrinin Naifuki, Bunmei 14 18th day of the intercalculary 7th month, 25th day, 26th day, 3rd day of the 8th month, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day, 8th day, 14th day, 22nd day, 28th day, 1st day of the 9th month, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day, 7th day, 8th day, 16th day, 21st day, 29th day) (閏七月)(智周尼) (清房) (江沼郡) The particularly poignant part of this document is that it demonstrates how the aristocratic families had essentially complete control over the judicial process (and the finances to back them up), hence for local kokujin on the Nukata estate (and Yasumaru) (such as the Asahi and Watanabe), their chances of being able to defend their claims to land were significantly hampered by an outdated and complex system that leaned in favour of established authority. What`s more, clearly from this document one can see that bribery was not uncommon in attempting to influence those presiding over the case. In the case of this aristocrat (Nakanoin), it worked. Both he, Irie no kami, and Inō Kiyofusa, together with Ise Sadamune and the shōgun Yoshimasa had essentially arranged matters so that the Asahi had no opportunity to defend their position. Note that this too has occurred during the 1480s, when Masachika is still shugo over Kaga, and thus is still administering the province as before. If one was a kokujin samurai, such a rebuttal of one`s request must increase the frustration felt at the shugo and the current system of administration, and so one might seek alternative avenues from which to build up support for one`s claim. |
