【Course Objectives】

To understand complex political, economic and cultural historical aspects of the early modern transition period (mainly the 19th century) from the perspective of the former feudal lords who were given the new designation of the nobility.

【Course Contents】

The title of "nobility" was given to the feudal lords and court nobles at the same time as the return of the lands and people from the feudal lords to the Emperor in 1867. While it was an important element of modernization for long-lived feudal lords to become "nobility," there was no clear definition of what constituted a "nobility." In this lecture, the participants first learn about the nobility system, and then, referring to the Shimadzu family, which has a long history as a feudal lord, as a case study, discuss how they tried and failed to figure out what they should be as a duke, using family historical documents handed down in the Shimadzu family.
