초록

There have been many previous studies about the relationship between women and temples focusing on amadera such as enkiri dera in the Kanto area and bikuni gosyo in Kyoto. However, there have been few previous studies about elite women’s entering amadera (Buddhist convents) and their life. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between priestesses of Eishōji and elite families using historical documents about temples and domains. The purpose of this study is to examine the unique characteristics of amadera Eishōji and the role of priestesses. Establisher Eishōin was a concubine of Tokugawa Ieyasu and a stepmother of the first feudal lord of the Mito domain. Furthermore, she sponsored the first feudal lord of the Takamatsu domain and her origin family namely the Ota family. For that reason, Eishōji was placed in the Ota family's former residence, and a princess of the Mito family or an adopted daughter from the Takamatsu family began to be appointed the chief priestess of Eishōji. Moreover, the Mito family provided financial support and dispatched officials to Eishōji. On the other hand, the Ota family maintained a relationship with the living space of the priestess by giving tribute and making greetings. Eishō ji had a special characteristic because it was established for memorializing Eishō in. The priestess of Eishōji was the heir of Eishōin and she had the role of representing the prestige of the Mito domain. The priestess was also not related to religious work of the temple and Eishōji functioned as a living space for her. Because of Eishōin’s human network, Eishōji was supported by some elite families during the Edo period. However, in the late Edo period, these relationships became weak. After the Meiji Restoration, all the premodern relationships of Eishōji expired, and it followed the path of decline.
