ペリー来航前後から安政の大獄あたりまでの、武家説話や、志士の言説における秀吉の朝鮮攻略について検討した。文化・文政期には昌平坂学問所の古賀[トウ]庵が、はやく秀吉のこの戦争の非倫理性を認めつつ、諸外国に示した「武威」の点で評価していたが、幕末になると秀吉の雄大な志を評価する方に傾き、そうした認識は、儒学・国学・洋学・水戸学の垣根を越え、漢文武家説話から絵本読本にまで確認できた。さらに、水戸学の影響を受けた吉田松陰により、秀吉の戦争の「正当性」は、天皇存在の聖性から理念化され、より具体的に大陸進出の膨張策が主張された点で、近代のこの戦争の評価と実際のアジア侵攻にリンクするものであったことを確認した。

In the Edo period, the number of works that depict war and warriors (kinsei gunsho) easily exceeds 100 for those published, and many more for those that survive as manuscripts. However, because these works were used politically pre-war for nationalistic purposes, and the post-war backlash led to an avoidance of examining them directly, the research into this field in Japan could not be said to be very active.This presentation will look into two points. First, records on the situation in Japan as written by foreign visitors and research into Japan overseas, particularly in the United States, will be introduced. These provide reasons not only to pursue research into kinei gunsho, but also offer hints towards it. The problems and advantages found therein will be discussed. Second, as an example of an application of research that has learned from outside examination of Japan, the problems surrounding the reprinting of Okaya Shigezane's Meisho Genkoroku (1869) in 1909 will be looked at in order to examine the establishment and subsequent reevaluation and rebirth of kinsei gunsho.The evaluation of the Edo period as an age of the commoner has established itself, but the authority and philosophy of rule of the time came from the warrior class. This peculiarity of Japan in East Asia can be seen in the introductions given of Japan by the ambassadors from Korea. The attention given to warrior culture inspired a bushido boom in the Meiji period which expanded to the West, but academically the heroes of Edo culture have been set as the commoners from the time of Sansom's Japan: A Short Cultural History. Post-war, the attention given to warrior culture by Japan researchers in America, such as Reischauer and Bellah, derives from looking for the reasons for modernization in Edo's warrior class. Expanding on this is the recent work of Ikegami Hideko, who proposes a continuity from the cultural resources found in warrior culture and the modern age. Using the vantage point of Japan studies in America, I would like to introduce parts that will offers hints into the meaning of the reprinting of Meisho Genkoroku.

『雨月物語』「蛇性の婬」の歌枕による舞台設定(紀伊国三輪が崎・佐野の渡り)は、当時の中世歌学に従った通念とは異なった国学(契沖『万葉代匠記』(精選本))の成果による歌枕考証を基にしつつ、その通念と国学説の間を、俳諧的連想で自由につなぐものであった。また、主人公豊雄が引用する「三輪が崎・佐野の渡り」を詠みこんだ歌は、『万葉集』が出典ではあるが、平安朝文学に耽溺する余り、その文学世界から抜け出てきたような謎の女、真女児(まなご)に誘惑され、豊雄が懸想する場面での引用の背景には、『源氏物語』「東屋」が介在していることを考証した。これらの新事実を出発点に、原拠の中国白話小説をいかに日本の物語に「見立て」ていったか、その知的遊戯の実態を確認し、「物語」の高度な達成と、本作の主題について私見を提示した。

<i>Buke-giri-monogatari</i>, a collection of tragicomical episodes about samurai ethics, is acclaimed for its psychological insight but unfortunately quite unpopular. Why do we think it uninteresting and how can we enjoy reading it? If we find the collection rather boring, it is because we fail to appreciate Ihara-Saikaku's thrilling touch with which each episode is elaborated. Moreover for further appreciation we need to learn the habitus of the samurai class from such primary sources as <i>Oritaku-shiba-no-ki</i> and other diaries by samurai warriors as well as from historical documents of Japanese chivalry. In other words, we must try to re-live a samurai life to have the pleasure of reading the narratives, all of which culminate in the act of decision-making entailed by "giri" or feudal obligations.
