Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to elucidate the nature and reality of the newly recreated Suwa faith that emerged after the internal conflicts of the major Suwa families and priests since the late Middle Ages, as well as the dissemination of that faith.

Due to the impact of the epidemic from the academic year 2020 onwards, it was not possible to proceed with the new investigations initially planned. However, by extending the adoption period by one year, investigations into the Suwa faith spread by the Shimazu clan in various parts of southern Kyushu have been resumed. Additionally, as one of the summaries of the previous research results, the representative author published a single-authored book titled "Variations of Suwa Faith - From the Rebellion of Chusendai to the Legend of Koga Saburo."

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近世における諏訪信仰が、実は、中世末期以降の大祝家や神職家らの内訌を経て再創出されたものであったという前提そのものが、本研究によって示された新しい視点である。
ごく近年、中世の諏訪信仰に関わる研究は多発的な隆盛を見せ始めている。本研究もそうした研究の一翼を担ったものである。
とくに南九州各地に伝播した島津氏系の諏訪信仰の調査は、上井覚兼とその子孫(諏訪氏を称する)に注目することで、これまでにない視点からその伝播の解明に挑んだ。
