Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project examined the function of Confucian ritual forms, particularly the Confucius temple and Sekiten rite, in Japan in the late Edo period from cultural history and material culture perspectives. The focus of the research was on documentary sources and material artefacts relating to domain schools, to explain why these ritual forms continued when Confucian learning declined as new forms of learning and education grew.
