Abstract
The “Onagusami-iiokuri-cho” is the business diary of the man with the position of okodoguyaku, who was one
of the okubozu who worked at the oku and o-oku of Edo Castle. It is part of the “Edojo Tamon-yagura Monjo”
(Edo Government documents from the end of the Edo period). The diary is from the same year (1847) as that of
“Iiokuri-cho”, which was featured in the 49th issue of “Kitanomaru”. Reading these two diaries will elucidate
the whole picture of articles used at the oku and o-oku, as well as animals and plants grown there (fish and birds
kept for ornamental purposes and insects for feeding them, trees and plants in the gardens, flower arrangements,
etc.). The PDF file of the entire record is accessible in the 50th issue of “Kitanomaru” on the website of
National Archives of Japan.
