| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The notions of women’s sin and pollution appeared in the Heian period and spread widely in Japanese society by the Tokugawa period. This research examined how criticism and resistance to such notions emerged from some unauthorized religious groups in the late Tokugawa period. It focuses on Fujido, an organization of believers in the cult of Mt. Fuji, and a secret group of Christian believers arrested by the local government of Osaka in 1827. Through analyzing sources of information about these groups, this research clarified that Fujido encouraged its female members to play as important roles as those of male members based on its teachings about the ideal world, where the equality between both sexes would be realized, and that female practitioners belonging to the Christian group, who rejected the female gender role, played major roles there. As a result of the research, Umezawa published a chapter of a book and gave a presentation at an international academic conference in 2017.
