| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I analyzed the connection of the Tokugawa clan, the former retainers of Tokugawa and Shizuoka Prefecture in the modern era in Japan, by considering the scholarship program in Shizuoka called Shizuokaikueikai, for the scholarship for the former retainers’ children and students living in Shizuoka.
It started the scholarship program in order to help the former retainers and their children, but it had been stagnant in the late Meiji period. So it asked Tokugawa Iesato, the former feudal lord of Shizuoka, to take part in it as the president, because it needed to rebuild its project. It developed greatly and settled over Shizuoka Prefecture, for expanding its targets not only the former retainers’ children but also students living in Shizuoka. Although the friendly relation between the Tokugawa clan and Shizuoka Prefecture had decreased after WWII, and it dissolved in 1963, the scholarship program has continued to date in Shizuoka Prefecture while changing shape of it.
