*''Japanese'': 八原家御用日記 ''(Yahara ke goyô nikki)''
The ''Yahara-ke goyô nikki'' is an official diary kept by heads of the Yahara family of [[Tsuwaji Island]], recording official business related to their duties as Tsuwaji district magistrate (''gun bugyô''), from [[1768]] up into the 1850s or 1860s.
The Yahara family served as district magistrates on Tsuwaji since the early [[Edo period]], when in [[1635]] the lord of [[Iyo-Matsuyama han]] established a teahouse on Tsuwaji and named retainer Yahara Sanozaemon his deputy (''nashiro'') in overseeing matters on the island. Yahara's duties chiefly involved overseeing the comings and goings of ships on official shogunate business, or belonging to ''daimyô'' on ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]'' journeys, as well as [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo|Ryukyuan]] and [[Korean embassies to Edo]]; this included providing such ships with drinking water, firewood, and other needed supplies, and overseeing the [[corvee]] of boats and boatmen from neighboring areas, who would be called upon to escort or otherwise aid such elite vessels.
