• W2065167726 abstract "There are three sections in and Tabibanashi in the Early Modern Period: Forming Japanese Geographic Identity. The first is about travel in the Edo period (1600-1868). In this section travel and the important role it played informing the foundations of Japanese identity are presented. The second section is about tabibanashi (travel stories), a subgenre of rakup, a form of comic storytelling that was especially popular in early modern Japan. The author's contention is that geographical and cultural information presented in tabibanashi served to educate the common people about travel and social values of the world in which they lived. In the third section a brief summary of tabibanashi and the information that it conveys to its listeners is given. This article presents the initial findings of research that suggest that tabibanashi and rakugo played a much bigger part in helping shape the foundations of Japanese identity than has been thought to be the case until now. ********** People in Japan seem to have two identifies that are associated with geography: a regional identity and a national identity. When people who live in Osaka go to Tokyo today, they take pride in their identity as a person from Osaka. The same Osakans, however, when traveling in a foreign country, are likely to think of themselves as, first and foremost, Japanese. Dual or multiple geographic identities are not unique to Japan, but the way that the Japanese have acquired them over time is of particular interest. This paper gives a historical perspective on Japanese regional identity, especially that of the common people. Japanese commoners gained their sense of regional identity in the early modern period thanks largely to travel and the popular culture that surrounded it. There are three sections in this paper. The first section is about travel in the Edo period (1600-1868) and some of the culture that surrounded it. In this section I present specific details about traveling during this time in history and the important role travel played in forming the foundations of Japanese geographic identity. In the second section, I present tabibanashi (1) (travel stories), a subgenre of rakugo, which is a form of comic storytelling that was especially popular in early modern Japan. brief history of rakugo and this subgenre is presented, and I contend that the geographical and cultural information presented in tabibanashi served to educate the common people about travel and social values of the world in which they lived. Finally, in the third section, I give synopses of three tabibanashi and some of the information that they would have conveyed to early modern listeners. In this essay I present the initial findings of my research, which suggest that tabibanashi and rakugo played a much bigger part in helping shape the foundations of Japanese geographic identity than thought to be the case until now. Travel During the Edo Period Peace and stability prevailed almost unbroken in Japan throughout the Edo period, which contributed to the development of the nation. A sea- and land-based transportation network connected various parts of the country with Edo [today, Tokyo] (Karan 2005: 59). Japan remained a remarkably peaceful nation for so long partly because of the sankin kotai (alternate-year residence system) enforced by the shogun in 1637. Sankin kotai was implemented to control over the more than 260 daimyo who were autonomous feudal rulers of four-fifths of Japan. The daimyo had to maintain residential estates in Edo, where their wives and children were permanently detained by the shogunate (Karan 2005: 241). It was also the sankin kotai system that sustained five major high-ways (2) in Japan. Daimyo and their retainers traveled in large processions, usually making their way to and from Edo every other year. Old and new towns along these national corridors flourished as processions traveled through and stopped at what came to be known as shukuba machi (inn towns). …" @default.
