| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research was to build a bridge from the Tokugawa period to the Meiji era. Many scholars studied this changeover period and provided plentiful results. However the most of them were on the subject of political history, there were only a few scholars who are concerned with history of intellectual or religions. Actually, when some historians, who found the word Goho (Buddhist apologetics) in this research's subject, asked its meaning, because they thought that Ho meant not dharma but law. They had little interest in the subject of intellectual or religions.
This research group which was organized by young scholars, who perceived a tendency toward political history in the popular description of the 19c Japan, aimed to describe a history from the viewpoints of intellectual and religions. Especially, they had an eye to the workings of Buddhist Priests known as Gohoron or Haiyaron (antichrist). It was an attempt to depict the Cultural Space in the Bakumatsu Japan.
