Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research cluster has investigated the methodological peculiarities of the ‘evidential Confucians’ in Japan, and examined it in conjunction with their counterparts in China and the philologie of Germany in a similar period. The most notable methodological developments include the qualities of classical philology and historical chronology in the second-half of the Tokugawa period; such disciplines as grammar and usage, phonetics, prosody and lexicography also developed in the era. The Japanese evidential scholarship owed considerably to the increasingly influential Qing China scholarship, but the exports of Japanese scholarly achievements to China was also an important factor for the mutually beneficial scholarly development on both sides of East China Sea.
The mid-to-late Tokugawa scholarship was highly responsible for the development of the Bakumatsu ‘evidential’ scholarship that further helped develop 'modern' academic disciplines such as history in Meiji Japan.
