1. HikitsukeThe Hikitsuke (引付 lit. enquiry) or Hikitsuke-kata (引付方) (High Court) was one of judicial organs of the Kamakura and Muromachi shogunates of Japan. The Hikitsuke was established by fifth shikken Hōjō Tokiyori in 1249 to expedite an increasing number of lawsuits. Hikitsuke had three, later, five tribunals, and each tribunal was operated by four or five Hikitsukeshū (引付衆 adjusters), whose top was called Tōnin (頭人), and four or five Bugyōnin (奉行人 secretaries).
