| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through investigation of the rapid and widespread dissemination of Confucian ritual in 18th-century Japan, this project elucidates the processes by which the Bakufu and domain administrations deployed Confucian ritual forms to induce their populations to internalize specific virtues (such as filial piety, and by extension loyalty) to improve social order. The research focused on analyzing domain schools, which served as vectors of cultural transmission and moral transformation within the larger context of domain government strategy to achieve order by inducing the populace to be loyal to their rulers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、従来、思想史の立場から研究されてきた18世紀日本の儒教を、文化史の方法によって考究したことにある。本研究では、18世紀日本における儒教儀礼の導入を、中国文化の日本文化への影響という伝達パターンとしてではなく、トランスカルチュレーションの過程として解明した。本研究の社会的意義は、近世日本儒教の研究を通して、日本文化の形成、とりわけ日本的道徳の形成についての認識を更に深めたことにある。
