The Source Analysis of Eisei Bunko Muzeum's Hosokawake Monjo : The Actual Conditions of the People's

在平成16、17研究的基础上，本课题的主要课题组--日本历史研究室致力于对惠成文子博物馆最大的早期近代组织文献《细川氏宗族大名文献》，特别是熊本大学馆藏的核心文献《尾巴回声》和《池仔》进行了系统的考察，以期对日本近代社会和行政的厘清提供有力的成果。因此，对奥博伊科的系统分析带来了以下显著的结果。这一研究揭示了日本早期近代封建领主制度逐渐倾向于解决乡村社会的请求和上访，这取决于乡村社会的自治行政性质。随后，封建领主制度开始处理上访，作为中央政府关于地方地区决策的机构中自下而上的决策制度的最初提议。这是19世纪白松时代(江户时代的最后几年)的政治管理阶段，已经超出了学者的想象。

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.
