Dosethu (_??__??_) and Dohaku (_??__??_) on the Ryo-no-shuge (_??__??__??_)

Abstract

There are in " Ryo-no-shuge " two places where " Dosetsu " and " Dohaku " were mentioned. The word " Do "here refers to Koremune-no-Naomune, " Dokei " or Do-elder-brother of Koremune-no-Naomoto who compiled " Ryo-no-Gige." It has been believed that Naomune and Naomoto were brothers, the former being elder and the latter younger. But, thinking that they were in fact cousins and were called Do-Kyodai or Do-brothers, as they met in a Do or a house whenever anything happened, the writer in this treatise first stated Naomune's legal views and then tried to clarify the significance or the reason why Naomune took up in " Ryo-no-Shuge " private records and personal views in general that existed very few after "Ryo-no-Gige" had been published and distributed.
