| Outline of Research at the Start |
The proposed research project explores Confucian discourses on dress regulations in the Tokugawa period (1600-1868). It seeks to define the normative conceptions underlying these discourses, as well as conceptual changes. Thereby, it contributes to a better understanding of Tokugawa political culture and its normative foundations. Moreover, by presenting its findings together with extensive translations of representative passages from the primary sources in English language, central concepts of Japanese intellectual history will be introduced to the international research community.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An extensive search in libraries and archives throughout Japan for primary sources with regard to intellectual discourses about dress regulations in the Edo period was conducted. Over fifty primary sources from the period between the early 17th century to the early 19th century were analyzed, and categorized with regard to their thematical focus and key concepts, as well as partly translated into English. Furthermore, essential secondary research literature about the history of dress in Japan, other East Asian countries, as well as Europe and Amerika were outlined to apply as a theoretical framework for the present research project. The results of the present research project were presented at international conferences and discussed with specialists in the field. Various publications based on the results of the present research projects have been prepared and will soon be published.
