When local estates (shōen 荘園) sent money to landlords (ryōshu 領主) in Kyōto during the 14th and 15th century in Japan, a variety of promissory notes or bills of exchange, called a saifu 割符,was used. There are few primary sources dealing with the saifu, but in documents which have ended up in Tōji-Temple we can find some manuscript copies of 15th-century saifu sent from the Niimi-no-shō estate in the province of Bitchû to Tōji in Kyoto and letters and records written by those who dealt with them. Many scholars have examined these documents, and in their arguments they have reached the following consensus.
First, the saifu were used by merchants in the capital area to obtain money in local areas. The merchants received money in exchange for the saifu and purchased goods in local areas to send and sell in the capital area.
Second, the saifu, which was exchanged for money, and the goods, which were bought with the money, had a one-to-one correspondence. So when the saifu was cashed, the proceeds of those goods were allotted.
Third, because saifu and goods were exchanged on a one-to-one basis, to make that equivalence evident, tally impressions and individual stamps, known as wari’in 割印 and fuchō 符丁, were recorded on the saifu.
As a result of detailed examination of the saifu of Niimi-no-shō, I clarify in this paper that the first point is sound but the second cannot be applied to all saifu and thus the third point is unsustainable.
First, a saifu was written on a small piece of paper that contained the amount of money and the date of issue over which a stamp (in 印) or a kind of signature (han 判) were imprinted. Because these stamps and signatures were considered tally impressions and individual stamps in previous scholarship, it was hypothesized that saifu and goods had a one-to-one correspondence, and the use of the saifu was explained as a complex process. However, this argument is unsustainable. Compared with the similar stamps and signatures which are seen in the 11th century receipts called henshō 返抄,those of saifu were not tally impressions and individual stamps but imprinted simply to attested the authenticity of saifu.
Next, the saifu was used to transfer money from the original holder into the hands of a third party. In regard to the place and function of the people involved in the saifu trade, previous scholarship was confused, but this study succeeds in clearly explaining the use of the saifu based on a correct reading of the historical sources. There were two cases in which saifu were employed depending on the relationship between the possessor of the money and the merchant who used the saifu. The first case was when the possessor of the money was a merchant. The merchant would deposit money with a toiya 問屋 (a kind of warehouseman and additionally a wholesaler) in the capital region, receive a saifu from the toiya, and then in exchange for the saifu obtained money to purchase goods locally. The second case was when the merchant and the possessor of the money were not the same person. A merchant who was entrusted with money by the owner who wanted to use the funds would issue a saifu in a locality, and receive money to purchase goods. The common element in both cases is that in exchange for saifu the merchant received the tribute money (nengusen 年貢銭) to be sent to the capital from estates in a local areas. The managers of the estate who received a saifu would send the saifu to the landlord (ryōshu) in the capital. The ryōshu who received the saifu exchanged it at the toiya for money. In the first case, it would be the toiya at which the merchant had deposited money, and in the second case, the merchant who issued the saifu specified the toiya who held on deposit the money of the owner.
Next, I deal with the relationship between the saifu and transport of goods. In earlier studies it was not realized that the manner of use of a saifu varied according to the size of the merchants’ operations. For that reason, the funds allotted for the payment of a certain saifu were understood as the proceeds of goods that had been bought with the money obtained in exchange for the saifu. In fact, there were some saifu whose use was just as described above, but this was the case of small-scale merchants. In the case of large-scale merchants, the assets managed by the toiya were allotted for the exchange of saifu regardless of the state of the shipment or sale of the goods. When viewed formally, the role of the owner of the money was different in two cases. However, when viewed as a practical matter, in both cases these were regular transactions in which the toiya stored and sold the goods sent from local areas by the merchant, and it was the toiya that processed the exchange of money for saifu as part of a transaction. -
