Subject: Quote of the day
The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to
have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms, or
other types of arms. The possession of these elements makes
difficult the collection of taxes and dues, and tends to permit
uprising. Therefore, the heads of provinces, official agents,
and deputies are ordered to collect all the weapons mentioned
above and turn them over to the government.
-- Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Shogun, August 29, 1558, Japan.
