| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project examines the attitudes of Rinke and the Shoheizaka scholars in the late Tokugawa Japan to the Confucian practice of sacrifice to ancestors and sacrifices to Confucius. In the Kansei-era Tokugawa government directed Rinke to return to the Neo-Confucianism in the academic learning and to revive the Engishiki in the worship of Confucius. However, there were some inapplicable aspects in the actual ritual practices to both Song China and ancient Japan. This project provides a framework of adoption and modification in Tokugawa Confucian rituals, with an emphasis on the objects of spiritual possession and the worship human beings as gods in the warriors’ shrine rather than on the scholars’ contemporary academic learning.
