| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study tries to clarify the townspeople's consciousness of the government and international relations in the early Edo period, by analyzing Chikamatsu Monzaemon's "Joruri"(traditional puppet theater scripts) and related texts. This analysis has discovered that in this period the townspeople of the Kamigata district expressed their resentment to the repressive regime, became more interested in foreign cultures, and wished to conduct free external trade, having little hope to build an autonomous economic society under the government of that time. However, in the latter half of the eighteenth century, their resistance to the regime rapidly waned and their view of foreign countries also changed radically.
