| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I focused on analyzing formal accounts of the accession ritual (abhisheka) as seen in secret instructions and dreams about the ritual. That "tenno" and "gods and Buddhas" are included in such secret instructions and dream accounts is significant because it demonstrates that the cultural inheritance conveyed through the abhisheka ritual constituted a monopolistic type of power and authority.At the same time, I revealed that, as a foundation for showing the origins and legitimacy of the genealogy and inheritance, secret instructions and dream accounts involve the “placeness” of mythical and esoteric worldviews. I conclude that at the backbone of medieval culture we find the coexistence of two perspectives: an authoritarianism and ideology of secretiveness that emphasized the classics and pedigree, as seen in the handing down of secret instructions; and a realistic attitude towards material culture that facilitated exchange and gift giving.
