Sympathy for the Edo period read from historical materials
No one has ever been there, but you can still experience it todayConsidering the Characteristics of the Edo Period
Associate Professor Tomotaka Noguchi
Today, we cannot go back to the Edo period.However, areas such as Asakusa, which used to be the castle town of Edo, still retain the atmosphere of Edo and attract many Japanese and foreigners.I am interested in the thoughts and actions of people in the Edo period, and I am currently conducting research by analyzing the words, deeds, and events of the shogun and retainers of the Edo Shogunate from historical materials such as the "Edo Shogunate Diary."For example, the way of thinking (feelings) and poor physical condition of the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu had a strong influence on the policies and personnel affairs of the shogunate.In other words, it means seeing Iemitsu as a human being.For me, the Edo Shogunate is a different world that I have never actually belonged to.However, I can sympathize with Iemitsu's feelings of joy and sorrow.We aim to construct a new historical image through a different perspective on history.
