Varieties of Control and Release in Tokugawa ReligionHayes, Matthew, Hayes, Matthew January 2012 (has links)
The Tokugawa period (1600-1868) brought significant social, legislative, and institutional change to Japan, including peace and stability that pervaded much of early modern society. Life in these new social conditions was experienced under the authoritative and ideological influence of the shogunal regime, which sought to order society in a way reflective of administrative ideals. However, while control over Tokugawa inhabitants existed to a certain degree, there were also instances of geographical and social release from such control through engagement in religious pilgrimage and ritual. Practices such as these allowed some citizens to move around, through, and perhaps beyond the modes of confinement established by authorities. This release, which is illuminated by considerations of social and ritual theory, leaves us with a nuanced picture of Tokugawa life and indicates that relatively fluid portions of society may have maneuvered within the boundaries of the hegemonic structure.

Tōshō Daigongen Shū: A Religious Source of Shogunal LegitimacyCipperly, Ian 27 October 2016 (has links)
Japan’s early modern period (1568-1868) achieved a break from the violent political and social upheaval of the preceding Warring States period (1467-1568). The return to a stable and more centralized rule was made possible by the development and implementation of an emerging politico-religious trend, in which powerful leaders were posthumously apotheosized and worshiped as tutelary deities. Ieyasu, the first of the Tokugawa shoguns, was deified and venerated at the Tōshōgū Shrine in Nikkō, and the politico-religious movement that was propagated by Ieyasu’s descendants became a central tool for the government’s legitimacy. Because Ieyasu’s cult was the only source of ideological legitimacy that was exclusive to the Tokugawa, the sources of Tokugawa success can be found by examining the development of the Nikkō shrine and its accompanying religious movement.

Fé e prática entre os Kirishitan: jesuítas, franciscanos e as reações japonesas ao cristianismo / Faith and practice among the Kirishitan: jesuits, franciscans and the Japanese reactions to christianityRenata Cabral Bernabé 11 October 2018 (has links)
A missão cristã japonesa, iniciada com a chegada de Francisco Xavier ao arquipélago em 1549, inaugurou o chamado século cristão no Japão. Foi um período bastante conturbado na história japonesa: guerras civis quase ininterruptas vinham assolando o arquipélago há décadas e os generais que foram capazes de colocar fim ao contínuo estado de conflito militar e unificar o reino Oda Nobunaga e Toyotomi Hideyoshi não conseguiram fazer com que seus descendentes herdassem suas posições. Ao fim, o clã Tokugawa tomou o poder e inaugurou o regime militar que ficaria conhecido como Tokugawa Bakufu e duraria por mais de dois séculos e meio. Para que esse novo regime fosse possível, uma série de estruturas legitimadoras foram forjadas. Como resultado, o cristianismo foi interditado e os reinos ibéricos banidos e proibidos de retornar aos portos japoneses. As ordens missionárias europeias foram testemunhas de todo esse processo e buscaram até o fim negociar com esse poder em formação, na tentativa de manter a missão cristã ativa. Dentre elas, a Companhia de Jesus foi a que mais atuou no Japão; por mais de quatro décadas, teve assegurado o monopólio da missão japonesa. Em 1593, no entanto, os franciscanos espanhóis iniciaram sua atividade no arquipélago, a despeito da forte oposição jesuíta. O que se busca compreender neste trabalho, através dos escritos produzidos por estes missionários e de algumas obras dos japoneses acerca do cristianismo, é como jesuítas e franciscanos desenvolveram a missão cristã no contexto da unificação do Japão, e, por outro lado, a forma como os japoneses se apropriaram desse cristianismo, incluindo a reação que o mesmo causou nos círculos intelectuais dentro e fora do Bakufu. / archipelago, in 1549, inaugurated the so-called Christian Century in Japan. That was an eventful period in Japanese History: almost uninterrupted civil wars stroke the country for almost a century and the generals who were able to put an end to the continuous warfare and finally unify Japan Oda Nobunaga e Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not make their offspring successors to the positions they achieved. In the end, the Tokugawa house took the power and inaugurated the military regime that would become known as Tokugawa Bakufu and would last for the next two and a half centuries. In order to make this new regime possible, some new legitimizing structures were forged. As a result, Christianity was banned, and the Iberian kingdoms expelled and forbidden inside the archipelago. The European missionaries witnessed all this process and sought until the very end to negotiate with these powers, in an attempt to save the Christian mission. The Society of Jesus was the Catholic order that most worked in Japan. For more than four decades it held the monopoly over the Japanese mission. In 1593, however, the Spanish Franciscans began their activity in the archipelago, despite the Jesuit opposition. What this thesis aims to understand, through the writings of these missionaries and some works of the Japanese about Christianity, is how Jesuits and Franciscans developed the Christian mission in the context of the unification of Japan, the way the Japanese appropriated this Christianity and the reaction it caused in intellectual circles inside and outside the Bakufu.

Circling The Waters: The Keichō Embassy and Japanese-Spanish Relations in the Early Seventeenth CenturyBatts, Joshua Paul January 2017 (has links)
This project examines the fraught diplomatic and commercial relations between Tokugawa Japan (1600–1868) and the Habsburg Spanish empire in the early seventeenth century. Vessels from Japan called at the port of Acapulco in New Spain three times within a decade, the first attempt in world history at a bilateral commercial relationship across the Pacific. In doing so, the ships also challenged the Spanish monopoly over the waterways between Latin America and Asia. Japanese commercial and diplomatic outreach peaked with the Keichō Embassy to Southern Europe (1613–1620), an effort that dispatched Japanese representatives to the court of Philip III in Madrid, but failed in its mission to secure regular contact between New Spain and northeastern Japan. In analyzing these events, I contrast Japan’s pursuit of commercial and diplomatic expansion with Spanish ambivalence and insularity, inverting essentializing narratives defined by Japanese isolation and European engagement. The project also compares the diplomatic models employed by each polity. I argue that Spain’s established imperial vision and the shogunate’s emerging hierarchical model of foreign relations placed each polity at the pinnacle of their respective diplomatic frameworks, handicapping efforts to communicate, build trust, and integrate each into the worldview of the other. Ultimately, a Spanish policy of containment closed off the Americas to Japan; soon after, the Tokugawa divested from its relationship with the Spanish Philippines in the face of alternative commercial partners and ongoing religious tension. The project thus integrates Japanese history into world history and the history of the Pacific, while questioning the notion of a straightforward commitment to expansion among Europe’s early-modern empires.

Crossing Boundaries: Suzuki Bokushi (1770-1842) and the Rural Elite of Tokugawa JapanT.Moriyama@murdoch.edu.au, Takeshi Moriyama January 2008 (has links)
This thesis centres on a member of the rural elite, Suzuki Bokushi (1770-1842) of Echigo, and his social environment in Tokugawa Japan (1603-1868). Through a case study of the interaction between one individuals life and his social conditions, the thesis participates in the ongoing scholarly reassessment of Tokugawa society, which had an apparently rigid political and social structure, yet many features that suggest a prototype of modernity. Bokushis life was multifaceted. He was a village administrator, landlord, pawnbroker, poet, painter, and great communicator, with a nation-wide correspondence network that crossed various social classes. His remote location and humble lifestyle notwithstanding, he was eventually able to publish a book about his region, Japans snow country. This thesis argues that Bokushis life epitomises both the potentiality and the restrictions of his historical moment for a well-placed member of the rural elite. An examination of Bokushis life and texts certainly challenges residual notions of the rigidity of social boundaries between the urban and the rural, between social statuses, and between cultural and intellectual communities. But Bokushis own actions and attitudes also show the force of conservative social values in provincial life. His activities were also still restrained by the external environment in terms of geographical remoteness, infrastructural limitation, political restrictions, cultural norms and the exigencies of human relationships. Bokushis life shows that in his day, Tokugawa social frameworks were being shaken and reshaped by peoples new attempts to cross conventional boundaries, within, however, a range of freedom that had both external and internal limits.
