Naokata revealed: About ONO Naokata, author of Kanpu gosata ryakki (官府御沙汰略記)

Abstract

This paper outlines newly ascertained facts about ONO Naokata, author of Kanpu gosata ryakki (官府御沙汰略 記), which is an account of the ONO family, a vassal of the shogun. Part of the archive’s collection, Kanpu gosata ryakki is an indispensable record of life during the mid-Edo period and diaries of the daily life of a samurai family. This paper reveals that author ONO Naokata (小野直方) was not ONO Naokata (小野直賢) as had been originally thought, but instead his younger brother. 〔
