Japan is the worlds leading fishing nation not only in tonnages caught but also because of the staggering amount of fish the Japanese eat an average of 6570 kg each per year Moreover Japan boasts a maritime resource management system that differs from and in several respects seems more successful than those of Western Europe and North America It is impossible to understand the present situation in Japans fishing industry without having a knowledge of its past What is more Japans fishing villages played a significant role in Japans economic development In particular during the Tokugawa period 16001868 they acted as key commercial links between the castle towns and dispersed farming communitiesThe aims of this book therefore are twofold first to place maritime resource management within the larger context of social and material reproduction and second to analyse the fishing villages in the context of Japans economic history

Popular understanding of Zen Buddhism typically involves a stereotyped image of isolated individuals in meditation contemplating nothingness This book presents the other side of Zen by examining the movements explosive growth during the Tokugawa period 16001867 in Japan and by shedding light on the broader Japanese religious landscape during the era Using newlydiscovered manuscripts Duncan Ryuken Williams argues that the success of Soto Zen was due neither to what is most often associated with the sect Zen meditation nor to the teachings of its medieval founder Dogen but rather to the social benefits it conveyedZen Buddhism promised followers many tangible and attractive rewards including the bestowal of such perquisites as healing rainmaking and fire protection as well as funerary Zen rites that assured salvation in the next world Zen temples also provided for the orderly registration of the entire Japanese populace as ordered by the Tokugawa government which led to stable parish membershipWilliams investigates both the sects distinctive religious and ritual practices and its nonsectarian participation in broader currents of Japanese life While much previous work on the subject has consisted of passages on great medieval Zen masters and their thoughts strung together and then published as the history of Zen Williams work is based on care ul examination of archival sources including temple logbooks prayer and funerary manuals death registries miracle tales of popular Buddhist deities secret initiation papers villagers diaries and fundraising donor lists

Ching China and Tokugawa Japan were unusually urbanized premodern societies where about one half of the worlds urban population lived as late as 1800 Gilbert Rozman has drawn on both sociology and history to develop original methods of illuminating the historical urbanization of China and Japan and to provide a way of relating urban patterns to other characteristics of social structure in premodern societies The author also hopes to redirect the analysis of premodern societies into areas where China and Japan can be compared with each other and with other large scale societiesThe author divides central places into seven levels and determines how many levels were present in each country century by century Through this method he is able to demonstrate how Japan was rapidly narrowing Chinas lead in urbanization and show that Japan was relatively efficient in concentrating resources in high level cities Explanations for differences in urban concentration are sought in a general discussion of the social structure of each country an analysis of marketing patterns a detailed study of Chihli province and the KantÅ region an examination of regional variations and a comparison of Peking and Edo which were probably the worlds largest cities throughout the eighteenth centuryOriginally published in 1974The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest printondemand technology to again make available previously outofprint books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905

Performing the Great Peace offers a cultural approach to understanding the politics of the Tokugawa period at the same time deconstructing some of the assumptions of modern national historiographies Deploying the political terms uchi inside omote ritual interface and naisho informal negotiationall commonly used in the Tokugawa periodLuke Roberts explores how daimyo and the Tokugawa government understood political relations and managed politics in terms of spatial autonomy ritual submission and informal negotiationRoberts suggests as well that a layered hierarchy of omote and uchi relations strongly influenced politics down to the village and household level a method that clarifies many seeming anomalies in the Tokugawa order He analyzes in one chapter how the identities of daimyo and domains differed according to whether they were facing the Tokugawa or speaking to members of the domain and daimyo household For example a large domain might be identified as acountry by insiders and as a private territory in external discourse In another chapter he investigates the common occurrence of daimyo who remained formally alive to the government months or even years after they had died in order that inheritance issues could be managed peacefully within their households The operation of the court system in boundary disputes is analyzed as are the illegal enshrinements of daimyo inside domains that were sometimes used to construct forms of domainstate Shinto Performing the Great Peaces convincing analyses and insightful conceptual framework will benefit historians of not only the Tokugawa and Meiji periods but Japan in general and others seeking innovative approaches to premodern history

Buddhism was a fact of life and death during the Tokugawa period 16001868 every household was expected to be affiliated with a Buddhist temple and every citizen had to be given a Buddhist funeral The enduring relationship between temples and their affiliated households gave rise to the danka system of funerary patronage This private custom became a public institution when the Tokugawa shogunate discovered an effective means by which to control the populace and prevent the spread of ideologies potentially dangerous to its powerespecially Christianity Despite its lack of legal status the danka system was applied to the entire population without exception it became for the government a potent tool of social order and for the Buddhist establishment a practical way to ensure its survival within the socioeconomic context of early modern Japan In this study Namlin Hur follows the historical development of the danka system and details the intricate interplay of social forces political concerns and religious beliefs that drove this economy of death and buttressed the Tokugawa governing system With meticulous research and careful analysis Hur demonstrates how Buddhist death left its mark firmly upon the world of the Tokugawa Japanese
