- Scope and Content
The box containing A9.2 originally was a box for sweets, etc. Documents were placed in a box in which fifteen layers had been created with newspapers. In the first layer there was a group of documents bundled together with string. It appears that these measures were carried out based on the judgment of Marega. The majority of these documents are reports regarding religion inquisitions from temples during the Bunka (1804–1818), Tenpō (1830–1844), and Kaei (1848–1854) periods. They are often grouped together by period. Newspapers used were as follows: Hōshū Shinpō (1938/02/21) and Ōita Shimbun (1940/07/21).
