Abstract Since Nara era there was already an act of Fukukan 覆勘 in the meaning of "guarantee with investigation". In the early period of Heian the term "Fukukan" became usual. This was a precondition of the occ...urrence of Fukukanj6 in the Middle Ages, Fukukanjo consists of the Fukukanjo of Kyoto Obanyaku 大番役 and the Fukukanjo of Ikoku-Keigobanyaku 異国警固番役, In this article I state my opinion from the standpoint of diplomatics about the latter issued before and after the Mongol Invasion. Periodically there are the preserved Fukukanjos from May 1271 to December 1310. Ikoku-Keigobanyaku itself existed since the decline of Kamakura Shogunate till the early period of Muromachi Shogunate. But the last Fukukanjo preserved now is of July 1339. Provincially I found 41 (4) of Satsuma, 13 of Osumi, 26 (2) of Hizen, 3 of Chikuzen, 3 (1) of Buzen-86 in total. The number of ( ) indicates Fukukanjo of Ishitsuijiyaku (石築地役 service apportion of construction of the fort). Its form is Origami (paper fold in two) in the case of preserved originals, and most of them are written in the form of letter. In Fukukanjo usually are written the office (the place of allotted service), the period of service, the date, the name of issuer, and the address. Sometimes the office is omitted. Only two have no date. But many have Tsuke-nengo (nengo, namely the name of an era, is added afterwards). The issuer is a person related with Shugo (the Protector), Shugodai (the agent of Protector), or Shugosho (the office of Shugo) of the province to which the man in service belongs. The address usually is written next to the date and issuer, but in the case of Osumi the relevant address is described in the text. I think that such a certificate of accomplished military service is singular in the world history, and a precious material for the comparative studies of East and West feudalism.show more
