| Research Abstract |
In this research, I am focusing on nursing in the Edo period to examine how families of the Edo period tried to protect the lives of mothers and infants. As a result, it became clear to me that nursingwas crucial both to people who wished to maintain/sustain their family lines (Ie) and to clans (Han) who wished to reproduce the population. Focusing on nursing provided me an opportunity to view environments that surrounded the life more closely, which shed light on how people in the Edo period tried to protect the lives of mothers and infants.
