| Research Abstract |
Through researches on 'Tempo', charateristics of which had changed from power politics between 'Bakufu' and 'Daimyo' to the routine administrative matters until the middle of Edo-period, some of 'Daimyo' could be considered as patrimonial bureaucrats in the Shogunate. I got such a conclusion after investigations over numeral documents of 'Tempo' recorded by inner system of Daimyo-families. As a result, it can be said that 'Bakuhan-State' had already reached to just before the modern bureaucracy although including much of the traditional features of Japan.
As another result obtained by this research, documents of 'Tempo' gathered from dozens of Daiinyo-families widely spreaded in Japan are now on the way to make a large data-base. It contains digital values such as documents itself and image-data of them. They will provide useful informations for the historical anarysis concerning with 'Shogun', 'Daimyo', systems of Japanese family and so on. According to this data-base, I have just started a next project named "A Study on Daitmyo-family composed by his retainers'.
