Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the waka activities of local waka poetic circles in the early modern period. Specifically, this study examines the waka activities of the Shonai waka circles in Dewa (Shonai region, Yamagata Prefecture) in the late modern period. In particular, the Shonai waka poetic circles in the Shonai region became active in the late Edo period, and a major characteristic of these waka poets is that they engaged in annotation work on classical waka poems.In this study, we report on the annotations of "Hyakunin Isshu" by Shirai Katashi in his "Hyakushu Ryakuge" (A Short Compilation of One Hundred Poems), as well as on the reprinting and discussion of the annotations. This study focuses on the reprinting and discussion of Hattori Masaki's commentary, "Kokin Oi no susabi," "Gosen Oi no susabi," and "Shui Oi no susabi," because these commentaries, which provide detailed annotations of all three collections of waka poems, have not yet been introduced.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回の研究で、今まで未紹介の注釈書を紹介されたことが第一である。が、このところ研究が進んでいる近世期の地方歌壇を考えていくうえでも大切な業績となると思われる。
さらに、この度の研究で、出羽・庄内という、とりわけ江戸や京都からも遠い遠隔の地でも和歌文学が盛んになったということが明らかになっただけではなく、この地域の人々も京や江戸との繋がりが強かったことがわかった。例えば、『後撰老のすさび』などの注釈を著した服部正樹は、池田玄斎を師としているが、平田篤胤に師事して国学を学び、鈴木重胤にも師事して万葉集や古事記を学んでいる。地方歌壇と中央という区分以外の視点も必要になったと思われる。
