The Takagi Family Documents is a collection ofhistorical documents regarding the Toki and Tara
districts of Ishizu-gun in the Mino Province(present day Kami Ishizu in Ogaki City, Gifu
Prefecture). These documents were handed down
to the Hatamoto Nishi-Takagi family̶theretainers to the local gentry family. The collection
includes approximately 100,000 documents, andalthough most of the retainer documents werelost during the fall of the Edo Shogunate, thescale and contents of these remaining documents
are unprecedented. Not only do the Takagi Family
Documents contribute to research on retainer
feudalism, but the documents, which have beenutilized across a range of ﬁelds, have also
received positive evaluation and signiﬁcantattention as Japanʼs largest systematic materials
on rivers and ﬂood control. To date, more than
62,000 documents have been cataloged. Inaddition to performing a full analysis of theTakagi Family Documents, we are working on theimprovement of the restoration process andpreservation environment for damaged anddeteriorated documents as well as the document
utilization environment.

This comprises a collection of 188 manuscripts
written by Keisuke Ito, a pioneer of modern botany
in Japan.
