| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study revealed an upward status orientation in the religious practice of discriminated people in the early modern period. Accordingly, the discussion centered on the nodal points at which religion in the early modern state intersected with the Emperor system. Specifically, it placed the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist faith of discriminated people in the context of the early modern state and revealed an upward status orientation that used religion as a means to overcome the generational transmission of status.
This upward status orientation was characterized by the mutually beneficial relationship of service (goyo) from discriminated people and exemptions (gomen) from the Hongwanji Buddhist sect.
