1338 - ▲Kikuchi Takeshige makes Yoriaishu Naidan no Koto.
It is the rules of decision within Kikuchi clan with blood signature (keppanjo).
Kikuchi Takeshige was one of the leaders of the Kikuchi Clan, a powerful daimyo family of Kyushu. The Kikuchi lineage was renowned for its valiant service in defense of the emperor and against foreign invaders.
In order to strengthen Kikuchi clan, Kikuchi Takeshige made Yoriaishu Naidan no Koto, shortly before he died in 1338, meaning the rules of decision within Kikuchi clan with blood signature. This was translated into the Kikuchi Constitution, the oldest blood signature and this was stored in the Kikuchi Shrine.
It is obvious that the mass poisoning in July 25 1998 was carried out in commemoration of the blood signature. The document with blood signature was made in the village community. And the mass poisoning occurred at a community festival. In fact the year 1338 was Koki year 1998 in the Japanese traditional calendar.
Keppanjo, or blood signature, is a statement of oath. When the oath is made, the person cuts his or her finger and leaves their blood under their signature.
