''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.

''Edo bakufu nikki'', or "Edo Shogunate Diary," is a set of official records of day-to-day events within the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. No complete copy of the ''nikki'' survives, but one set of manuscript copies held by the [[Sakai clan]] of [[Himeji han|Himeji domain]], rediscovered in the late 20th century, is among those that are most complete and in the best condition.

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.
