Description

The purpose of this anicle.is to examine the position of Rokuhara 六波羅 with the Kamakura Bakufu 鎌倉幕府 and the judicial proceedings conducted at Rokuhara through an analysis of Rokuhara saikyojou 裁許状, written judgements by the Rokuhara Tandai 探題 (presiding judges at Rokuhara), and Rokuhara chuushinjou 注進状 (reports submitted to Kantou 関東) that were issued by the Rokuhara Tandai. The form of judicial proceedings at Rokuhara had been altered in the third year of the Kenji 建治 era (1277) from monchuuki 問注記 (written record of hearings) to hyoujou kotogaki 評定事書 (written record of verdicts). Furthermore, regular verdict days, hyoujou shikijitsu 式日, had existed by the fourth year of the Einin 永仁 era (1296) at the latest, and Rokuhara saikyojou were issued under the dates of the verdict days when judgments were rendered in judicial proceedings. During this period, the principle of transferring judicial cases involving central and western Japan from the jurisdiction of Rokuhara to that of Kantou gradually established, and the method of transferring jurisdiction from Rokuhara to Karntou also involved the change from the monchuuki to the hyoujou kotogaki form. The judicial functions of Rokuhara had essentially been transformed by Kenji 3 (1277). Each agency of the Kamakura Bakufu, such as Rokuhara, Hakata 博多, and the Syugosyo 守護所, had been established as an independent judicature, but the relations between Kantou and these agencies grew closer in late-Kamakura times. The process of the establishment of the judicial procedures of the Kamakura Bakufu can be understood as the systematization of these agencies.
