Masamoto-kō Tabihikitsuke

In 1501, Kujō Masamoto left Kyoto for an extended stay at the family's Hine Estate to manage the shōen directly in a time when courtier control of estates was increasingly disrupted by the military conflicts and social transformations of the Sengoku period. Masamoto kept a diary, Tabihikitsuke, which offers a view of estate management and rural life and livelihoods.
