Nakajima Shigyoku and the Shoheiko Academy of the 1820's

1995年的研究重点是确定诗人和斋基地区武士中岛重横的语料库的位置，并开始调查和复制他的作品。我能够调查并在很大程度上复制他的手稿，这些手稿由斋木市教育委员会拥有，以及九州大学图书馆，国会图书馆和东京其他机构的图书馆。重横20岁出头，在江户的正平学堂（Shoheiko Academy）学习；这促使我集中精力收集他在那里经历的证据。具体到学院方面，我抄写并开始破译35卷学院教员日记，这些日记现藏于筑波大学图书馆。在一名学生被另一名学生血腥杀害之后，重横被提升为该学院的诗歌导师。我调查这一系列事件是为了充实19世纪20年代正平子的文化氛围（见《江户文学》第14节“1823年正平子书院北宿舍谋杀案”）。我还对寄给重横的学者的九封信进行了编辑，并提供了详细的评论（“中岛重横的半径”，《海德》，第64页）。1996年，我基本上延续了前一年的工作。在完成重横的作品校订后，我开始研究与他相近或同时代的学生们的活动和作品。这促使我开始编纂19世纪20年代的Shoheiko学院年表。在这一年里，我进行了几次调查，一边继续阅读大量的斋木域文献，一边思考着这些官方记录与中岛重横的文学追求之间的许多联系。

The main thrust of this research in 1995 was to pinpoint the locations of the corpus of poet and Saiki-domain samurai Nakajima Shigyoku, and to begin surveying and reproducing his body of work. I was able to survey and to a large extent reproduce his manuscripts in the possession of the Saiki Municipal Education Committee, as well as those in the library of Kyushu University, The National Diet Library and other institutions in Tokyo. Shigyoku spent his early twenties studying at the official Shoheiko Academy in Edo ; this prompted me to concentrate on gathering evidence of his experience there. Concerning the Academy specifically, I copied and began the deciphering of thirty-five volumes of that institution's faculty diaries, now in the possession of the Tsukuba University Library. Shigyoku was promoted to Poetry Tutor at the Academy following a bloody homocide there of one student by another. I investigate this series of events in order to flesh out the cultural climate of Shoheiko in the 1820's (see "Murder in the Northen Dormitory of Shoheiko Academy, 1823", in Edo bungaku, v.14). I also redacted and provided a detrled commentary on nine letters by scholars sent to Shigyoku ("The Radius of Nakajima Shigyoku", in Kaitoku, v.64).In 1996 I basically continued the tasks laid out in the year previous. Finishing the redactions of Shigyoku's oeuvre, I spread out toward the activities and writings of the students near and contemporary to him. This has led me to start compiling of a chronology of the Shoheiko Academy in the 1820's. Throughout the year I carried out several surveys, and while continuing to read in the massive body of Saiki domain documents, I contemplated the many points of contact between these official records and the literary pursuits of Nakajima Shigyoku.
