| Research Abstract |
In secession to the research in Heisei 16 and 17, the Japanese History Research Section, the main group of this research project, devotedly conducted the systematic investigation of the largest early modern organization documents Hosokawake Monjo (Hosokawa clan's daimyo document) of Eisei Bunko Museum, especially of its core documents Oboecho and Machizai which are stored in Kumamoto University, in order to deliver strong results about clarification of the society and administration in the Japanese early modern period. Consequently, the systematic analysis of Oboecho brought the following remarkable results. This study revealed the fact that the Japanese early modern feudal lord system gradually became inclined to do settle the rural village societies' requests and petitions, depending on the autonomous administrative quality of the rural societies. Subsequently, the feudal lord system came to deal with the petitions as the original proposals for "ringi" (the bottom-up decision-making) system in the central government organization for policymaking concerning local districts. This is the phase of the political administration in the 19th century Bakumatsu era (the final years of the Edo period), which has been beyond scholars' imagination.
