Description

In Noda-bunsho, the collection of ancient documents, there are legal papers which were written by Sasaki-Saburo-Nagatsuna, a descendant of the famous samurai warrior Sasaki-Saburo-Moritsuna, when he made appeals to authorities in the 21st year of the Oei Period. His appeals not only described his own personal troubles but gave a certain expression to social anxiety about the samurai government of the age. The aim of this essay is first to prove the credibility of Noda-bunsho as historical material, then to examine the state of the samurai government represented in Sasaki's appeals, and finally to relate it to the social function of Heike-monogatari.
