Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 2 Abstract This section discusses the complex psychological and philosophical reason for Shogun Yoshimune’s contrasting handlings of his two adopted daughters’ and his favorite son’s weddings. In my thinking, Yoshimune lived up to his philosophical principles by the illogical, puzzling treatment of the three weddings. We can witness the manifestation of his modest and frugal personality inherited from his ancestor Ieyasu, cohabiting with his strong but unconventional sense of obligation and respect for his benefactor Tsunayoshi.

  • Japanese Economic Growth During the Edo Period*

    Japanese Economic Growth During the Edo Period*

    Japanese Economic Growth during the Edo Period* Toshiaki TAMAKI Abstract During the Edo period, Japanese production of silver declined drastically. Japan could not export silver in order to import cotton, sugar, raw silk and tea from China. Japan was forced to carry out import-substitution. Because Japan adopted seclusion policy and did not produce big ships, it used small ships for coastal trade, which contributed to the growth of national economy. Japanese economic growth during the Edo period was indeed Smithian, but it formed the base of economic development in Meiji period. Key words: Kaimin, maritime, silver economic growth, Sakoku 1.Introduction Owing to the strong influence of Marxism, and Japan’s defeat in World War II, Japanese historians dismissed the Edo period (1603–1867) as a stagnating period. Japan, during this period, was regarded as a country that lagged behind Europe because of its underdeveloped social and economic systems. It had been closed to the outside world for over two hundred years, as a result of its Sakoku (seclusion) policy, and could not, therefore, progress as rapidly as Europe and the United States. This image of Japan during the Edo period began to change in the 1980s, and this period is now viewed as an age of economic growth, even if Japan’s growth rates were not as rapid as those of Europe. Economic growth during the Edo period is now even considered to be the foundation for the economic growth that occurred after the Meiji period. In this paper, I will develop three arguments that demonstrate the veracity of the above viewpoint.

  • The Opening of Japan

    The Opening of Japan

    i i i i West Bohemian Historical Review VI j 2016 j 1 The Opening of Japan Eliška Lebedová∗ Since the first half of the 17th century Japan closed itself against the influence of the outside world. Only the Dutch traders could under strict restrictions enter the port of Nagasaki. This policy of so-called sakoku (isolation) was one of the cornerstones of the Tokugawa bakufu. However, since the turn of the 18th and 19th century the ships of the western pow- ers started to gain interest in the seas around Japan. The ruling Tokugawa regime was nevertheless anxious of the internal consequences of the opening of the country and turned away any effort of western Great Powers to open Japan to foreign trade. This policy was not however backed by military ability to repulse the foreigners if they came and tried to open Japan by force. The arrival of powerful fleet of Commodore Perry in 1853 therefore compelled the bakufu to sign a first treaty opening its ports to western country. Treaties with other countries followed soon and at the end of the 50s Japan had to sign a series of unequal treaties under the pressure of the Great Powers. This was a start of a whole new period of Japanese history. [Japan; Great Britain; United States; Russia; France; diplomacy; international relations; trade] Japan1 had always been an isolated and insular country due to its remote location. Foreign relations were limited to its relatively close neighbours in Asia. Trade agreements concluded in the 15th century with Korea and China led to the brisk exchange of goods, which was, however, accompa- nied by increased activities of Japanese pirates (wako¯) and Chinese smug- glers on the Chinese-Korean coast.2 Traders also sailed from Japan to Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
  • The Development of Early Modern Onmyōdō

    The Development of Early Modern Onmyōdō

    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 40/1: 151–167 © 2013 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture Hayashi Makoto 林 淳 The Development of Early Modern Onmyōdō This article examines the development of Onmyōdō in the early modern period of Edo Japan. Although much of the focus on Onmyōdō has been on the ancient and medieval periods, early modern Onmyōdō had a completely different historical meaning due to various social developments in the Edo period. First, the Tsuchimikado family gained official recognition from the shogunate so that all divination activity required licensing from them. Second, calendar creation and astronomical observations, formerly the responsibility of the Imperial Court’s Onmyōdō Bureau, shifted to a new “office of astron- omy” created by the bakufu. This system, in which religious practitioners such as those affiliated with Onmyōdō were incorporated into the bakufu’s ruling framework, was dominant during the Edo period but was systematically dis- mantled by the Meiji government in the late nineteenth century. keywords: Tsuchimikado family—calendar—warrior Onmyōdō—Shosha negi kan- nushi hatto—shuinjō—manzai Hayashi Makoto is a professor in the Department of Literature at Aichi Gakuin University. 151 he first academic study of Onmyōdō 陰陽道 (the way of yin-yang) was Saitō’s study of Onmyōdō in the Ōchō period. For a long time, this was the only available reference work (Saitō 1915). It covered nearly Tall the basic topics in Onmyōdō: Chinese Onmyōdō texts, the organization of the Onmyōdō Bureau in the ritsuryō 律令 system of governance, tenmondō 天文道 (astrology) and divination, rekidō 暦道 (calendar studies) and divination, ideas surrounding the use of natural disasters and auspicious signs in politics, and so on.

    HIRATA KOKUGAKU and the TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon

    SPIRITS AND IDENTITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NORTHEASTERN JAPAN: HIRATA KOKUGAKU AND THE TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon Fujiwara A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Gideon Fujiwara, 2013 ABSTRACT While previous research on kokugaku , or nativism, has explained how intellectuals imagined the singular community of Japan, this study sheds light on how posthumous disciples of Hirata Atsutane based in Tsugaru juxtaposed two “countries”—their native Tsugaru and Imperial Japan—as they transitioned from early modern to modern society in the nineteenth century. This new perspective recognizes the multiplicity of community in “Japan,” which encompasses the domain, multiple levels of statehood, and “nation,” as uncovered in recent scholarship. My analysis accentuates the shared concerns of Atsutane and the Tsugaru nativists toward spirits and the spiritual realm, ethnographic studies of commoners, identification with the north, and religious thought and worship. I chronicle the formation of this scholarly community through their correspondence with the head academy in Edo (later Tokyo), and identify their autonomous character. Hirao Rosen conducted ethnography of Tsugaru and the “world” through visiting the northern island of Ezo in 1855, and observing Americans, Europeans, and Qing Chinese stationed there. I show how Rosen engaged in self-orientation and utilized Hirata nativist theory to locate Tsugaru within the spiritual landscape of Imperial Japan. Through poetry and prose, leader Tsuruya Ariyo identified Mount Iwaki as a sacred pillar of Tsugaru, and insisted one could experience “enjoyment” from this life and beyond death in the realm of spirits.

Especially in and after the middle part of the Tokugawa Shogunate, commerce and industry witnessed considerable development, currency was widely circulated and the chanin class, or commercial interests, gained much influence in consequence of the growth of urban districts. This led to the development of the currency economy in addition to the land economy already existing, a new economic power thus coming into being besides the agrarian economic power. Owing to this remarkable economic change, it became im· possible for the samurai class to maintain their livelihood, and for the farming class to support the samurai class as under the old economic system, with the result that these classes had to bow to the new economic power and look to the chiinin for financial help.

  • A Handbook for Women's Tea in the Nineteenth Century

    A Handbook for Women's Tea in the Nineteenth Century

    Chapter 3 A Handbook for Women’s Tea in the Nineteenth Century ecords of tea gatherings show that female attendants occasionally accompanied their mistresses at these Revents (discussed in chapter 1). At tea gatherings, women usually sat alongside men, both those from the same household and out- siders. These gatherings were thus a space in which female attendants could interact socially with others in a household-based network of tea practice. High-ranking wives who were tea practitioners themselves may have expected their female attendants also to be proficient at the art. Perhaps prospective employees may have had to demonstrate their abil- ity to do tea at their interview. Lessons may have been given to atten- dants within the household from a tea master or an experienced female practitioner. On sugoroku board games, depictions of attendants engag- ing in tea practice suggest that private study of tea could be part of the lives of female attendants in elite households. Who were the women who went into service at elite households, and what did being in service entail? This chapter addresses these questions and examines the motiva- tions for women to enter into service, before moving on to discuss the connection between tea culture and service specifically. The chapter concludes with a case study of tea practice among women of the Ii household in the nineteenth century. The handbook for women’s tea penned by Oguchi Shōō in the eighteenth century was pri- vately circulated among like-minded samurai tea practitioners in manu- script form. In the nineteenth century, the daimyo and tea master Ii Naosuke transcribed and amended his own copy of A Woman’s Hand- book, which he circulated among the women of his household, including family members and female attendants.

Tokugawa = the name of the family that ruled Japan from 1603 – 1868 shogun = the leader of Japanʼs military—this job was hereditary (it was inherited) The term shogunate refers to the Japanese government during the era it was ruled by Tokugawa shoguns. • The Tokugawa shogunate created a FEUDAL government in Japan. Feudalism is a system in which land is exchanged for military service and loyalty. FEUDALISM can be described as a DECENTRALIZED POLITICAL SYSTEM that also provides SOCIAL STABILITY (or social structure). For this reason, feudalism is sometimes referred to as a both a political system and a social system. The Global Regents Exam often compares Japanese (Tokugawa) feudalism to Medieval European feudalism. In both Japan and Europe, emperors and kings were to weak to prevent invasions or stop internal disputes. Feudalism provided a way for rulers to preserve law and order (see Regents Review Packet #5 for more on European feudalism).
