Tsugaru ittō shi fukan tosa ōrai (Tsugaru Unification Correspondences with Tosa. See: Hirosakishi shi Tsūshi hen 1: Kodai chūsei, pg. 445, fig. 190, GK210-8)
Government-compiled historical record of the Hirosaki clan. Ten volumes. Contains a chronological record of the Tsugaru household beginning with the family founder Ōura Mitsunobu and continuing through the early rule of fourth-generation lord Tsugaru Nobumasa. Compiled upon orders from the fifth-generation lord Nobuhisa in Kyōhō 12 (1727) by chief councilor Kitamura Kōi Masakata, the record is based on genealogies and other historical sources. After Kitamura's death, Sakuraba Masamitsu, Aisaka Noritake, and Itō Sukenori carried on his work, presenting the completed version to the Bakufu government in Kyōhō 16 (1731). The ten volumes cover events from Ōura Mitsunobu's founding of the Tsugaru household to the Ezo uprisings of Kanbun 9 (1669). Important sections include an extensive record of Tsugaru Tamenobu's separation from the Nanbu clan and unification of the Tsugaru line, as well as a copy of reports by the elder council concerning the Kanbun 9 (1669) Ezo uprisings. In addition, the first volume includes information on the domain's geographic features, famous places, historical sites, products, and shrines and temples, and additional volumes containing the Tsugaru gun chū myōji [Surnames of the Tsugaru Domain], Tosa ōrai [Correspondences with Tosa], and Tsugaru Yakata sama go senzo shidai [Ancestral Records of the Tsugaru Nobles]. Tsugaru gun chū myōji was compiled by Namioka Kitabatake in the Tenbun era (1552-1555), and preserves Tsugaru region place-names from the Japanese Middle Ages. Tosa ōrai was compiled in the Kenmu era (1334-1338) by Monk Kōchi of San'nōbō Aun Temple, and depicts the thriving conditions of Port Tosa in the Middle Ages in classical Chinese script. Transcriptions of Tsugaru ittō shi spread through and widely beyond the Tsugaru domain, and many copies of the book still remain.(Takei Noriko)
