英語訳
[Continued from the previous page]
It is reported that Kōzai Mataroku, under the pretext of hanzei [the right to collect half of annual tribute], has been making unreasonable and forcible demands (kyōmō). This conduct is utterly outrageous. Without delay, such interference shall be brought to an end, and the annual tribute (nengu) and all miscellaneous dues (shokujimotsu) shall be paid in full as in previous times. Should anyone defy this order and obstruct [the shrine's rights] — whether principal offenders or those harboring them (kyokaku) — it is hereby decreed that punishment (chūbatsu) shall be imposed upon them. Accordingly, this official transmission (shittachi) is as stated above.
Eishō 2 (1505)
Twenty-ninth day of the fourth month — Motoyuki [seal]
Nagahide [seal]
To the village headmen (nanushi) and administrators (satanin)
The six villages of Kawakami, Ōmiya, Koyama, Nakamura, Okamoto, and Ono-gō, etc.
The same document/text applies equally to all six villages.
---
[The following on this folio is written in red ink — an annotation:]
Note: These "six villages" referred to herein are as follows. On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of Kannin 2 (1018), eight villages (go) within Otagi District that had been [offered] the previous year were bestowed as donations upon Mioya-sha [Shimogamo Shrine] and Bettō-sha [Kamigamo Shrine]. In that same year, upon deliberation and for reasons of administrative convenience, they were divided and granted in allotments of four villages each. Of those, the share belonging to Kaminari-sha [the Thunder Shrine, i.e., Shimogamo Shrine] was as follows:
Kamo-gō, Ono-gō, Nishigori-gō, and Ōno-dono.
Of these four villages: Kamo-gō came to be called Kawakami-gō; Ōno-gō was split into two villages, Ōmiya-gō and Koyama-gō; and Nishigori-gō was divided into Nakamura and Okamoto — making a total of six villages, as they have come to be known.
Furthermore, when the text above refers to "the estates of the three shrines" (sansharyo), this denotes the estates of the three shrines of Ise, Hachiman, and Kamo, which were accorded special treatment as a designated category.
After the document bearing a seal was issued in Eishō 2 (1505), another document concerning the six villages was subsequently issued. That document reads as follows:
Document bearing a seal, dated the fifth day of the tenth month of Eishō 7 (1510):
This is communicated formally by means of a folded paper (origami). Accordingly, concerning the regular levies (hon'yaku) on Kamo-ryō [the Kamo estate]: as in previous times, it is essential that [dues] be strictly paid in full (nōsho). As for the shrine rice fields (shinden), these shall not be conflated with other [ordinary] holdings. In previous years as well, [the lord] Chōkei issued a folded paper [directive] to this effect. Even now, in accordance with the same principle, if [the dues] are firmly paid and upheld as the shrine's [property], there must be no negligence. Should there be any resistance or difficulty (nanjū), [a further] demand for submission shall be sent. With deep respect.
