| Abstract | This monograph is a report on the results obtained by my research about the relations between Kangien and the Western Learning (洋学). Kangien is the private school established by Tanso Hirose. This res...earch forms a part of my synthetic studies on Hita and its environs (in Bungo-no-Kuni), which were the domain of the Tokugawa Shognate. This private school became famous by the liberal and broad-minded educational principles, and the number of Tanso's pupils gathering from all over the country reached to four thousand. It was the latter days of the Tokugawa Government and so we can estimate that many of those pupils opened their eyes to the Western Learning in accordance with the needs of the times. Therefore the relations between the Western Learning and Kangien, the private school of Chinese classics, was more intimate than was expected. Tanso himself had a deep understanding of Western Learning. But we can not certificate by historical materials many of those who later became pupils of Wes tern Learning. In this monograph I cleared up the relations between Kangien and such pupils as Kenkai Oka, Genpo Matsushita, Jun Yada, Yushi Takeya, Hikoma Ueno and others. Today in Kangien (the Hita City Library) we can find only several publications (including no Wes tern book) pertaining to the Western Learning. But the Senken-bunko (先賢文庫 Library of Old Wise Men) has considerably numerous manuscripts pertaining to the foreign relations and the Western Learning. Some of these manuscripts have the seal of Kyokuso Chinzo (旭荘珍蔵 Precious Manuscripts collected by Kyokuso). Kyokuso is the youngest brother of Tansil. He led Kangien for a time after Tanso. These manuscripts were collected by Kyokuso's painstaking. The Senken-bunko mostly consists of the translations of world geography and occidental history, and manuscripts relative to the coast defense, military preparations, England and U.S.A. These collections themselves indicate the intimate relations with the tendency of thought of Tanso and Kyokuso. As the manuscripts relative to pupils I found only "Ryojiroku" (療治録 A Record of Medical Treatment) of Kensuke Oka and "Suifu-hyoryu-ki" (水夫漂流記 A Record of Drifting of Sailor) and so I introduced them. But Kyokuso's voluminous diary ("Nikkan-saji-biboroku 日間瑣事備忘録 Memoirs of Daily Trifles) and immense letters relative to Tanso and Kyokuso are not yet, completely investigated. If these materials are minutely studied, it will be possible to probe more deeply into this problem.show more |
