Nenashi-gusa (1763) is Hiraga-Gennai’s drama which was based on the death by drowning of Ogino-Yaegiri, an “oyama” kabuki actor. In the drama a kappa (a Japanese water goblin) plays an important part as a guide who sends Yaegiri to hell. There is an illustration of the kappa in the fifth volume, but very little has been said about it except in Teiri Nakamura’s Kappa-no-nihon-shi (1996). It is very likely that the author borrowed the illustration from Gotō-Rishun’s Zuikan-shashin (1757) with the aim of entertaining his acquaintances who must have noticed that it implicitly referred to the reported appearance of a kappa in the year before the publication of the drama. In addition to an analysis of the illustration, this article explores the structural similarity between Nenashi-gusa and its sequel, the probable influence of the author’s personal relations through herbal medicine on the formation of the drama, and so on.
2 0 0 0 「近世随筆」の領域横断的研究
「近世随筆」とは、17~19世紀の日本において、学者や文筆家が、事物の由来・人物の評判・市井の噂話など、種々雑多な内容を書き留めた書物群を指す。従来の「近世随筆」研究は、文学・思想史・歴史の研究者が、それぞれの分野的関心や研究ディシプリンに沿うかたちで行ってきた。しかし、本ジャンルのもつ内容的な広がりに着目するならば、それら三つの研究領域を横断的に貫く視点も重要ではなかろうか。このような考えのもと、本研究では、文学・思想史・歴史の研究者が一堂に会して、「近世随筆」の成立・展開・終焉などの諸問題について領域横断的に議論する。そして最終的には、その成果を資料翻刻と研究論集という形で、世に公表する。

Nishimura-Enri (1718-1787) is an amateur astronomer in Kyoto who wrote <i>Kyokōshi</i> (1775), <i>Uchū-mondō</i> (1778), and many other essays. Tatsuo Hino, one of few critics who deal with his essays, importantly notes that the author often cites Kumazawa-Banzan's Confucian discourses. Indeed, although he learned much about astronomy from his predecessor Nishikawa-Joken, his philosophical aspect was to no small degree cultivated under the influence of Bazan. Critically following Hino's argument, here I will examine Nishimura's philosophical astronomy in order to shed a new light on the humanities and sciences of the mid-Edo Period.
