Literally, "know, manage, or take care of affairs"; term for the temple administrator positions, which are discussed in detail in the last section of Eihei Shingi, "Pure Standards for the Temple Administrators," or Chiji Shingi. Today chiji often refers to the roku [six] chiji: the director tsūsu, assistant director kansu, treasurer fūsu, supervisor of the monks' conduct inō, chief cook tenzo, and work leader shissui.
