The aim of this paper is to explore the cultural significance of the collaboration of Kamo-no-Mabuchi and Tayasu-Munetake in the study of "yūsoku-kojitsu" or usages and practices of the ancient court and the samurai class. Referring to his other writings, postscripts, and marginal notes, here I chronologically trace Mabuchi's progress in research to foreground the important role played by Munetake in the study. Indeed their collaboration affected Mabuchi's study of classical literature as is typically seen in <i>Genji-monogarari-shinshaku</i>. Finally it is pointed out that Mabuchi and Munetake worked together on "yūsoku-kojitsu" in the historical context of reconciliation between the imperial court and the Tokugawa shogunate.

Fujitani-Nariakira and Banbayashi-Mitsuhira, the "kokugaku" scholars of the Edo Period, divided the history of the styles of early modern <i>waka</i> poetry into two periods. While <i>Sangyoku-shū</i> established an elegant and ethereal style of poetry from the Muromachi Period to the late eighteenth century, the plain style of <i>Ruidai-fukugyoku-shū</i> became more dominant in the nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century the Jige poetical circles were explosively on the rise. Under the influence of the Dōjō school they usually referred to <i>Shin-dairin-waka-shū</i> and other poetry collections of the school which were modeled after the works of Emperor Go-Mizunoo's circle. In this way the trend of eighteenth-century poetics was created through the publishing media. In the nineteenth century, however, the school's ambiguous tone became out of fashion. Instead, as the number of lay poets was on the increase, the Jige school developed its own plain style more suitable for topics from their daily life. This is the goal of early modern poetics.

<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 and other diaries by samurai warriors as well as from historical documents of Japanese chivalry.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.
