Abstract	During the Edo period(l603-1867), falconry (known as takagari in Japan) was actively practiced among the shoguns and daimyos. The first part of this article describes the falconry practices used by th...e successive shoguns of the Edo shogunate and the institutional system that underpinned them. During The Edo period, JAPAN was divided into more than 200 feudal domains, and the rulers of these domains, the daimyos, also enjoyed falconry. The second part of this article focuses on one of these daimyos: the head of the Maeda clan, who ruled the Kaga Domain. This section introduces the falconry activities that the Maeda clan practiced in its domain, as well as those practiced in its shimo-yashiki (daimyo's residence in the suburbs of Edo) when sojourning in Edo as part of the sankin-kotai (a system that required daimyos to move periodically between Edo and their domains). Falconry requires, in addition to the raptors themselves, stocks of fowl for the raptors to hunt. Hence, the article reveals the ecosystem, unique to the Edo period, that enabled falconry. 近批日本では、将軍や大名のあいだで鷹狩が盛んに行われた。本稿では、まず江戸幕府の歴代の将軍が好んだ鷹狩や、それをささえた制度について具体的に説明した。次に、近世には200以上もの藩がおかれ、大名のあいだでも鷹狩が行われていた。その例として加賀藩前田家に注目し、領国だけではなく、参勤交代で江戸に滞在しているあいだでも下屋敷で隅狩が行われていたことを紹介した。鷹狩をするには、麿だけではなく、鷹が捕獲する鳥たちも生息していなければならない。そこで鷹狩を実現できた背景として、近枇独自の日本近世型生態系が創出されていたことを明らかにした。show more
