Notes

199 Notes Introduction 1. Tahara-chō Bunkazai Hogo Shingikai, ed., Tahara-han nikki, vol. 8 (Aichi Pref., Tahara-chō, 1995), pp. 124–125, 142–143; Tahara-chō Bunkazai Chōsakai, ed., Tahara-chō shi, chūkan (Aichi Pref., Tahara-chō, 1975), pp. 1194–1195. 2. Tokugawa jikki, ed. Kuroita Katsumi, 9 vols., in Shintei zōhō Kokushi taikei series, vols. 38–47 (Tokyo: Yoshikawa Kōbunkan, 1964); Shintei Kansei chōshū shokafu , 26 vols. (Tokyo: Zoku Gunsho Ruijū Kanseikai, 1964–1967). 3. The ending date of the Warring States era varies considerably in historiography , ranging from Oda Nobunaga’s entry into Kyoto in 1568, through Hideyoshi’s 1590 defeat of the last lords in Japan willing to resist him, and Ieyasu’s 1600 defeat of partisans of Hideyoshi’s son, on up to the 1615 defeat of Hideyoshi’s son Hideyori by Ieyasu. Each date has a logic to it, but for the purposes of this book the 1590 creation of an order incorporating all daimyo seems most appropriate. 4. Ozawa Eiichi, “Bakuhanseika ni okeru hōken, gunken ron josetsu,” Tōkyō Gakugeidai kiyō, 3 bumon shakai kagaku 24 (1972): 111–128. A good summary of this understanding of the early modern order is laid out in Fujii Jōji, “Jūnana seiki no Nihon: Buke no kokka no keisei,” in vol. 12 of Iwanami kōza Nihon tsūshi, ed. Asao Naohiro et al. (Tokyo: Iwanami Shoten, 1994), pp. 1–64. Also see Mizubayashi Takeshi, Hōkensei no saihen to Nihonteki shakai no kakuritsu (Tokyo: Yamakawa Shuppan, 1987), which has been influential in my own thought. 5. The classics in the field are Fujino Tamotsu, Bakuhan taisei shi no kenkyū, 3rd ed. (Tokyo: Yoshikawa Kōbunkan, 1967); Kitajima Masamoto, Edo bakufu no kenryōku kōzō (Tokyo: Iwanami Shoten, 1964); and Conrad Totman, Politics in the Tokugawa Bakufu, 1600–1843 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1967). 6.

I am influenced here strongly by Watanabe Hiroshi’s essay “Goikō to shōchō” in his Higashi Ajia no ōken to shisō (Tokyo: Tōkyō Daigaku Shuppankai, 1997). 8.
