*''Japanese'': 江戸幕府日記 ''(Edo bakufu nikki)''
''Edo bakufu nikki'', or "Edo Shogunate Diary," is a set of records kept by the [[Sakai clan]] of [[Himeji han|Himeji domain]]. Describing events within the shogunate from [[1631]] to [[1715]], the documents are a portion of the ''Himeji Sakai-ke bon'' ("Books of the Sakai Family of Himeji"), and are today held by a research center based at [[Himeji castle]]. The portion up to [[1658]] has been published (in reproductions of the manuscript; not transcribed into type) by Yuima shobô in 25 volumes.
The diary is regarded a valuable historical source, as a supplement to those years which have been lost from the ''[[Ryuei hinamiki]]'', one of the most extensive official shogunate records. The portion from 1631 to [[1673]] contains 79 volumes.
It covers chiefly the daily and [[Tokugawa seasonal observances|annual]] ceremonial activities of the shogunate, with a particular focus on the shogun's activities, including New Year's and other seasonal observances within [[Edo castle]]; formal trips to [[Kaneji|Kan'ei-ji]], [[Zojoji|Zôjô-ji]], and [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]]; the appointment of shogunal officials; the promulgation of laws and edicts; ''daimyô'' audiences; the granting and transferring of fiefs; and so forth. Much of the text was based on the ''[[Tokugawa jikki]]'', but also includes description of numerous events not mentioned in the ''jikki''.
