> Ochiai Kô (Shudo University, Hiroshima):
>
> A village headman's network and the ideology of "national interest" The
> ideology of "national interest" became established not as an abstract
> ideal of government, but rather as a practical mindset based on the idea
> of systematically enriching the state. Ikegami Tarôzaemon (1718–1798), the
> headman (nanushi) of a village in the vicinity of Edo, is one such
> practitioner. Tarôzaemon dedicated his whole life to spreading sugar
> cultivation and production in order to stop the outflow of bullion for
> sugar imports. Crucial to his success was Tarôzaemon's exploitation of his
> influential social network. His far-reaching connections included people
> he knew through his position as the village head of Daishikawaramura as
> well as people whom he had met through their common interest in haikai
> poetry. His network further extended to the shogunate's most powerful
> politician, Tanuma Okitsugu, whose support for the sugar project was
> crucial. The thread linking individuals within this network to
> Tarôzaemon's sugar-related efforts was a shared commitment to an ideology
> of "national interest."

> Following one's father's aspiration: "Know the Way"
>
> Rai Shunsui (1746-1816), the oldest son from a reasonably well-off family
> of dyers in Takehara in Aki province, left Takehara for the Kansai region
> in 1764 at the young age of nineteen. Nominally undertaken to cure a
> chronic disease, the trip in fact bespoke Shunsui's determination to
> distinguish himself. With him he carried a list of over one hundred names
> of prominent men in Sakai, Osaka, and Kyoto. Before his return four months
> later he had made contact with seventy-four scholars, intellectuals, and
> other influential men. Focusing on two records kept by Shunsui, Tôyûzakki
> (Record of my trip east, 1764) and Zaishinkiji (Record of my stay in
> Osaka, undated), the paper will investigate Shunsui's formation of a
> personal network that would ultimately bring him employment at the
> Hiroshima domain school and help him establish a reputation as one of the
> most influential and respected scholars of the late eighteenth and early
> nineteenth centuries.

>
> Between a Snowy Village and the Edo Bunjin Salon
>
> Apart from his book Hokuetsu seppu, pub. 1837-1842, Suzuki Bokushi
> (1770-1842) is famous for his extensive communication network,
> notwithstanding his location in a remote rural town in Echigo province and
> his modest lifestyle as a farmer-merchant. One of his address books,
> 'Kumoino kari', contains hundreds of entries listing people from whom he
> received letters. These correspondents were geographically spread from
> Mutsu to Higo, and ranged socially from famous authors and kabuki actors
> to rural intellectuals and samurai officials. Examples of illustrious
> figures in the address book are Kyôden, Bakin, Ikku, Hokusai, Bôsai,
> Nampo, Danjûrô and Ebizô. Several courtesans in the pleasure quarter of
> Yoshiwara, including the celebrated beauty Hanaôgi, are also named. This
> paper examines the cultural and social mechanisms which enabled Bokushi to
> make contact with such celebrities in Edo, and the extent to which Bokushi
> was able to participate in the urban bunjin salon.
