| Reference: 定使（Jozukai）
Reference information:
"The duties of jozukai were 1)collecting jishi, 2)expediting payment from tenants in arrears, 3)surveying and appraising the land under their supervision, 4)acting as caretakers, and 5)negotiating with third parties. Expediting payment, land surveying and caretaking were natural extensions of the tax collecting function, while negotiating with third parties in many cases concerned money-lending. Jozukai were acting in the capacity of kunin 公人, which in the case of Rezei-in-Machi under the proprietorship of aristocrats, may be interpreted as a low level public official;but in the case of Toji Temple kunin should be thought of as low level temple personnel. As to the personage of jozukai, they were by and large fairly wealthy urban dwellers, many of whom were engaged inlivelihoods besides rent collection."
