Chamberlain of Prince Asaka Family (Asaka-no-miya-Oku)
A 15-volume record kept by the chamberlain in charge of the personal affairs of the Prince Asaka family that documents the movements of the Asaka household over approximately eight years beginning in 1927. It records the schedule of Asaka family members—who left home at what time and returned at what time—along with lists of gifts received from visitors. It records events from the chamberlain’s perspective and not in the words of the family members themselves, but nonetheless offer a valuable glimpse into daily life in the Asaka household.
