Tokugawa Ieyasu 4 Resumo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo primordial apresentar um estudo sobre a vida de Sen’hime, neta de Tokugawa Ieyasu, que concluiu a unificação do país, após vários anos de contendas, e estabeleceu o xogunato de Tokugawa que dominou o Japão por quase trezentos anos, tendo como base a tradução integral da obra Sen’himesama (A Princesa Sen’hime) de Hiraiwa Yumie. O trabalho é dividido basicamente em três partes: na primeira parte far-se-á considerações sobre a relação entre a obra e o romance histórico; na segunda parte, será enfocada a personagem Sen’hime baseada na mescla de fatos históricos e fictícios e, na terceira parte, será abordada a relação entre Sen’hime e os vários castelos para os quais se viu obrigada a se deslocar nos períodos marcantes de sua vida. Palavras – Chave: Sen’hime; Era Tokugawa; romance histórico; Literatura Japonesa. Abstract This research had as its primary aim to present a study on the life of Sen'hime, granddaughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who concluded the country unification after years of strife, and established the Tokugawa xogunate of Japan which ruled for almost three hundred years. This study is based in the full translation of Yumie Hiraiwa work Sen'himesama (Princess Sen’hime). This research is basically divided into three parts: the first part will make considerations about the relation between the work and the historical novel; the second part will focus on Sen'hime character which is based in a mixture of historical and fictional facts and in the third part, we will look at the relationship between Sen'hime and the several castles towards which she was forced to move on remarkable periods of her life.

Como objetivo secundário buscar-se-á verificar a importância da relação entre os acontecimentos de sua vida e os principais castelos em que viveu ou passou. O estudo será baseada na obra Sen’himesama, A Princesa Sen’hime, publicada em 1992 1, e cuja tradução integral foi realizada, buscando melhor contextualizar as reflexões apresentadas. A Princesa Sen’hime foi escrita por Hiraiwa Yumie2 (1932 - ), escritora e roteirista, que nasceu emTóquio como filha única de uma tradicional família do santuário xintoísta Yoyogi Hachimangû. É formada em Letras pela Japan Women's University e dedica-se a escrever romances e roteiros para teatro e novelas televisivas. Em 1959, recebeu o 41º. Prêmio Literário Naokishô, com o romance Taganeshi (O Gravador de Nomes em Espadas). Recebeu ainda, entre outros, os seguintes prêmios: 10º. Prêmio Literário Shin’yôkaishô (1959), 30º. Prêmio Cultural NHK Hôsô Bunkashô (1978), 12º. Prêmio Teatral Kikuta Kazuo Engekishô, 25º. Prêmio Literário Yoshikawa Eiji Bungakushô (1991), 46º. Prêmio Literário Kikuchi Kanshô (1998), Prêmio Cultural Bunka Kôrôsha (2004), 49º. Prêmio Literário Mainichi Geijutsushô (2007), Prêmio Teatral Hasegawa Shinshô (2013). Além de ensaios, peças de teatro, roteiros para televisão e cinema, Hiraiwa Yumie destaca-se pela produção de romances, entre as quais podemos citar: Onnato Misoshiru (Mulher e a Sopa de Missô, 1967), Onnano Kao (Rosto de Mulher, 1970), Shitamachino Onna (Mulher de Shitamachi, 1972), On’yado Kawasemi (A Pousada Kawasemi da série de livros do mesmo nome, 1974), Ôokuno Koibito (A Amada do “Harém” do Xogum da série de livros Hayabusa Shinpachi Goyôchô, 1989), Hashino Ueno Kiri (A Névoa sobre a Ponte, 1984), Shamisen Ochiyo (1986), Kinuno Michi (O Caminho da Seda, 1993), Saiyûki (Jornada ao Oeste, 2007). A Princesa Sen’hime encontra-se dividido em dez partes, a saber: A Queda do Castelo de Osaka, Em Kuwana, O Navio Fantasma, A Princesa de Harima, O Verão de Setouchi, O Templo de Quioto, A Lua Cheia, Aqueles que se Vão, O Passamento de Tadatoki e O Fluir do Tempo. 1 A obra foi inicialmente publicada em série na revista Yasei Jidai, no período de 1989 a 1990. 2 O nome da autora segue a forma adotada no Japão, ou seja, sobrenome seguido de nome. 7 Temos como intuito observar quais fatos são relevantes a ponto de serem considerados reforço de modelo cultural e quais descrições são ficcionais, mas refletem o modelo cultural e social internalizados na mente do povo japonês. Para tanto faremos considerações sobre a obra A Princesa Sen’hime relacionando-a com o romance histórico. A apresentação da obra A Princesa Sen’hime se faz importante, pois um dos objetivos é o de disseminar a cultura japonesa para os ocidentais, por meio de sua rica e intensa história. Em 1597, no Castelo de Fushimi, durante o período de guerras civis da história japonesa3, nasce a princesa Sen’hime, a filha mais velha do xogun Hidetada e Ogô, sendo seu avô paterno Tokugawa Ieyasu, fundador do xogunato Tokugawa. A princesa Sen’hime foi levada para o Castelo de Osaka no ano de 1603, com apenas sete anos de idade para formalizar a união com Hideyori, sucessor do clã Toyotomi, passando a viver lá. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a vida do casal, que é citada de forma fragmentária, pois o romance tem início exatamente com a separação do casal devido à morte de Hideyori, durante a queda do Castelo de Osaka. Era comum na época a prática do hitojichi, refém, quando algum membro da família, normalmente um dos filhos (ou filhas), era enviado para o castelo do xogum como prova de lealdade. As princesas desse período eram também reféns das vontades dos pais, pois ao nascerem já eram destinadas aos casamentos por conveniência (seiryaku kekkon), visando à manutenção do equilíbrio de poder existente entre os clãs dominantes da época. Por motivos políticos, no ano de 1615, o avô paterno da princesa Sen’hime, Ieyasu, sitia o Castelo de Osaka, resgatando sua neta e fazendo com que Hideyori cometesse suicídio, juntamente com a mãe. No ano seguinte, conforme o testamento de Ieyasu foi realizado o casamento da princesa Sen’hime com Tadatoki, filho de Honda Tadamasa, em Kuwana, e no ano seguinte, o casal se muda para o Castelo de Himeji. A união durou dez anos e o casal teve dois filhos, uma menina chamada Katsuhime e um menino chamado Kōchiyo. Entretanto, uma terrível tragédia se abateu sobre a vida deles, quando o filho Kōchiyo morre subitamente com apenas três anos de idade. Em 1626, morrem a Senhora Ogô, mãe da princesa Sen’hime, e Tadatoki, vítima de tuberculose. Sen’hime, sem um herdeiro que assegurasse seu futuro, teve que retornar ao Castelo de Edo. Como era a tradição de uma viúva, na época, ela corta os cabelos, tornando- se monja leiga, e adotando o nome de Tenjuin, passa os seus últimos anos de sua vida em Edo. 3 O Japão viveu um longo período de guerra civil (1467 a 1568) que levou à desagregação do país.

    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) THE EDICTS OF TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI: EXCERPTS FROM LIMITATION ON THE PROPAGATION OF CHRISTIANITY, 1587 EXCERPTS FROM EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES, 1587 Introduction The unification of Japan and the creation of a lasting national polity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries required more than just military exploits. Japan’s “three unifiers,” especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536- 1598) and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), enacted a series of social, economic, and political reforms in order to pacify a population long accustomed to war and instability and create the institutions necessary for lasting central rule. Although Hideyoshi and Ieyasu placed first priority on domestic affairs — especially on establishing authority over domain lords, warriors, and agricultural villages — they also dictated sweeping changes in Japan’s international relations. The years from 1549 to 1639 are sometimes called the “Christian century” in Japan. In the latter half of the sixteenth century, Christian missionaries, especially from Spain and Portugal, were active in Japan and claimed many converts, including among the samurai elite and domain lords. The following edicts restricting the spread of Christianity and expelling European missionaries from Japan were issued by Hideyoshi in 1587.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

  • Iai – Naginata
    Editor: Well House, 13 Keere Street, Lewes, East Sussex, England No. 303 Spring 2015 Editorial It has been a year or so since the last Journal appeared, so apologies are in order. We think most members are aware of the number of domestic problems that interfered with the continuity, but pressure being brought to bear, here is a renewed effort. One of the chief duties of any proper Renmei is to encourage the members, old or new, with sound information in order to 'feed' their interest Since we cover a reasonably wide range of entities within the Bugei traditions – Kendō, Iai-jutsu, Naginata, occasionally Sō-jutsu, and general or specific historical subjects – it is a pretty broad mandate and we try our best despite sidetracking by the Internet and deep-rooted popular misconceptions deriving there from. Accordingly, we propose to use some material that has been written over the past few months on subjects that we normally wouldn't have covered only broadly. The first of these will examine the subjects of Kakegoe and Kiai, both of great importance in all the classical weaponed disciplines. We have tended in the past to slightly neglect Iai-jutsu but the subject, in itself, tends to be 'inward looking' as we are, within this Renmei, mostly concerned with one of the oldest transmissions, the Hasegawa Eishin-ryū, and not the modern popular forms of the Settai Iai-dō. We may touch on the background reasons for this at some point but, nonetheless, parts of what we might discuss will apply whether the Iai is old or modern.

  • From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
    2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.
