<p>The spread of letterpress and other Western-style printing technologies throughout Japanese society during the Meiji period (1868-1912) is often thought to be the cause of the rapid decline in traditional printing technologies that had existed since the Edo period (1603-1868). However, in the case of highly specialized books like Buddhist volumes, well-established publishing companies that had existed since the Edo period had an enthusiastic readership firmly in their grip. Insofar as these companies adopted the strategy of only publishing the minimum number of books they could sell, there was no need for them to rush to introduce letterpress printing or master mass-quantity or high-speed printing technologies. Yet, Buddhist publishing companies in Tokyo quickly introduced Western-style printing technologies from the late 1880s to late 1890s, as Meiji Enlightenment-era intellectuals had themselves formed publishing companies in an attempt to widely share Buddhist doctrines with the general public. Conversely, Kyoto Buddhist publishing companies persisted in using woodblock printing and Japanese-style book-binding, as they needed to sell commentaries on Buddhist scriptures and the like to priests engaging in religious training. However, as the western style grew more prevalent, Kyoto Buddhist companies began to recognize the convenience of smaller, letterpress-printed, Western-bound books. Thus, the turn of the nineteenth century marked the beginning of the decline of Japan's traditional printing technologies.</p>

Most traditions of Japanese temples disagree with the historical fact. Therefore historians have not dealt with them as proper materials. Indeed, traditions include the false part. But it was also true that people in Edo period accepted them as the historical fact. Why was doubtful traditions easily believed. In this article, I take up the legend of Honen talked in a small island and try to resolve the above question.

In recent years, the study of Shinto神道priests on the local level has progressed under the historical concept of "social status periphery".Using this concept, historians of the Tokugawa Period have shown a relative instability in the status of Shinto priests in conparison to Buddhist monks, who played the predominate religios role during the period.In an attempt to further clarify such a line of argument, the present paper looks into the organization of Shinto priests in the province of Aki, a region overwhelmingly dominated by the Buddhist Shin Pure Land Sect.For Shinto priests on the social status periphery, one way of escaping such social instability was to organize under the patroage of such influential families as the Yoshidas吉田 and thus ensure their social position.However, intervention by the Yoshida family in the affairs of local Shinto priests was by no means always welcome.On the occasion of the dispatch of agents to adron the shrines of Hiroshima Feud with heihaku幣帛 symbols of worship, the Yoshida family took the opportunity to install purification deputies(注連没頭)in each district for the purpose of registering local Shinto priests.However, such a policy was ineffective due to a lack of organization among the priests in the region.A similar opportunity was presented in 1804 for the Yoshida family to intervene, designed to influence the region for a long time to come.This took advantage of the holding of ceremonies, called kokuonsai国恩祭, for the first time in Hiroshima Feud.They were events that gathered the Shinto priests of each locality together to play for the health and safty of the feudal lordout of gratitude for his benevolence.Such gatherings helped nurture a sense of solodarity and organization among local priests and thus enabled the Yoshida family's intervention of the early 1880s to have a more lasting effect on the region than in the 1740s.The paper concludes that the act of Shinto ritually repaying the feud for its kindness clearly a conscious attempt they were suffering.

本研究は、近世中後期に羽前国村山地域における浄土真宗門徒（東本願寺派）の中心的存在であった工藤家の古文書を調査して、同時期の在村知識人がどのような文化環境に置かれていたのかを明らかにしようとするものである。ただし、今年度も昨年度に引き続いてコロナウィルスの流行により、当初予定していた工藤家での史料調査が全く実施できなかった。そこで、今年度は当初の計画から分析手法を大きく変更し、江戸時代の在村知識人たちが読んだ通俗仏書の叙述分析を中心課題として研究を進めた。通俗仏書とは、文字通り誰にでも分かりやすい表現で記された仏教書である。そこで、近世前期の代表的な通俗仏書である『阿弥陀経和談鈔』や『観音経和談鈔』は、宗派の枠を超越した性格を持ち、どの宗派の僧俗でも共有し得るものであったことが分かる。しかし、近世中後期以降になると、『阿弥陀経絵抄』のように特定宗派（浄土真宗）の主張を多分に盛り込んだ通俗仏書が増加してくる。宗派意識の明確化は近世仏教の特徴とされているが、中後期になると、通俗仏書にまでその影響が及んでいくわけである。なお、羽前国村山地域の浄土真宗門徒であった工藤儀七も、自ら東本願寺派高僧の講釈を聴聞して講義録を作成するなど、強固な宗派意識を持って日々の学びを行っている。そこで次年度以降は、通俗仏書の変容が、工藤儀七の教養形成にどのような影響を及ぼしているのかという観点から、引き続き研究を進めたい。

This research is an analysis of the recognition of historic sites in the feudal domains of Edo period.Generally speaking,the history of temples and shrines is thought to have been handed down over the years.That is why the temples and shrines that were built in the old days are recognized as historical sites due to their history.However, in reality, the history of temples and shrines is often rewritten in a short period of time with the support of the lord.In addition, when the empirical trend rises in the Edo period, the old tradition may be denied because it does not match historical facts.In this research, I used the Mito domain as an example to examine the process by which a historical site was created from multiple triggers, and analyzed its impact on posterity's perception of history.

This research project is intended to make clear the order created in each region of East Asia from the 16th Century to the 19th Century. As a result, I think that it became possible to understand the formation of traditional society in each region of East Asia. This research project was promoted not only by researchers in Japan, but also by researchers from Australia, Italy, China, especially from Zhejiang Gongshang University.

We reprinted various historical materials of the Edo period such as diaries which Nishinomiya Shrine in Hyogo prefecture, which was the base of the cult of Ebisu, possesses, and then clarified the role, activity, and change of its Shinto priests. Additionally, we clarified their geographical distribution and existence form by researching the historical materials to be related to shajin (Shinto priests of a lower rank) who were under the dominion of the Shrine of the whole country. Moreover, we fixed the future research system by, for instance, photographing the diaries of the modern times which the Shrine possess.

As many scholars have noted in recent years, society during the Edo Period attached great importance to highly refined rituals. This was true for the Tokugawa Shogunate and its various han domains, but the head temples of Buddhist sects also placed great weight on these rituals. By receiving offerings from believers and granting them various items in return, the temples maintained their religious authority. This study considers the activities of the Bingo Otatami-ko(Bingo Tatami Mat Organization) as an example of this offering behavior. Throughout the Edo Period, the Bingo Otatami-ko donated tatami mats, a specialty product of Bing Province(modern-day eastern Hiroshima Prefecture) for use in restoring the buildings of Nishi Hongwan-ji, a Buddhist temple. The study clarifies the structure that supported religious authority via the offering of tatami mats and furthermore reveals the existence of internal disagreements and conflicts in local society brought about by this act of offering.

本研究は、江戸時代の藩領域における「藩主信仰」の実態解明を目的としたものである。江戸時代の民衆が藩主の存在に神性を見出し、崇拝・信仰の対象とする事例は、幾つかの藩領域で確認されている。歴代藩主を祭神とする神社で、いわゆる殿様祭りが挙行されることもある。もっともこうした「藩主信仰」は、近世民衆の卑屈な精神構造を象徴するものと解釈されたり、権力サイドの信仰強制と捉えられたりしたため、これまであまり積極的な評価を受けてこなかった。しかし本研究では、在地史料を丹念に掘り起こすことで、「藩主信仰」の新たな側面を浮かび上がらせた。例えば、広島藩主浅野氏の息災を目的とする国恩祭は、文化年間(1804〜1818)に地方有力神職の主導によって始まったもので、そこに藩権力による強制は見出せない。むしろ神職たちは、自ら率先して「藩主信仰」の提唱者となり、僧侶に負けない宗教者としての地位向上を目指した訳である。また、福山藩でも江戸時代後期には地方知識人が盛んに地誌を作成し、その中でかつての福山藩主水野氏の善政をたたえている。前藩主水野氏に対する民衆の崇拝心はこれに伴って高まりをみせ、初代藩主水野勝成の生誕を祝う殿様祭りも毎年挙行されることとなった。ただし、領民の水野氏賛美も単純な権力崇拝ではなく、現藩主阿部氏による苛政を逆説的に批判する主張性を持っていた。以上のように本研究では、芸備地域を中心に精力的な在地史料掘り起こしを行い、また他藩の事例とも比較させながら、近世的な宗教風土の中で藩主が神のように信仰される意義を明らかにした。

The purpose of this investigation is to have a close perusal of the Inoues historical documents in Mibu Village, Yamagata County, Aki Province (now Kitahiroshima, Yamagata, Hiroshima Prefecture). Our research kept in mind how much the "provincially cultured people" of the late Modern Period tried to have their own character building, the enhancement of local culture, and the establishment of communication networks of the times. The Inoues had been a successive Shinto priest, and acted as a teacher of Terakoya [a private elementary school of the Edo Period]. Before the establishment of communication networks to meet the needs of the times, it was almost impossible that they could make themselves "provincially cultured people" and could propagate information well among the people of mountainous region of Chugoku. The fundamental form of the networks was formed by such people with an easy access to the information throughout Japan as priests, kokugakusha [scholars of ancient Japanese thought and culture], and haiku poets. By analyzing the documents, a number of the facts of the times were elucidated. The cultural broadening and exchanges were carried out in the forms of the propagation of traditional Japanese poetry and loan and/or lending and transcription of books, and oral tradition of kagura between such kokugakusha as Goto Hinaomi and Motoi Ohiro, from the Province, and some companions in their studies from Iwami Province. As the features characteristic of kokugaku ideas, they were conspicuous for their vernacular viewpoint, and it turned out to be essential for understanding common to all us that their way of thoughts was far from simply imitating such central scholars' as of Motoori Norinaga and Hirata Atsutane, Typical achievements of the "provincially cultured people" such as haikai poets were typical features, whereby the variety of information brought about, in particular, encouraged the thirst for knowledge of local people and enhanced the role of the people and contributed to attain their higher social standing. The correspondence concerning the exchange of literary works deserves an attention, because a variety of information is transmitted to the local people Our report carries also the reprinting of the diary kept by Inoue Yorisada from Tenpo 8 to the same 12, which we hope will contribute to the further development of research in the field as common property in the academic world.
