丹波国部落寺院における毛坊主を中心とした合力的結合 : 『日本歴史』第719号,朴澤直秀氏の書評をうけて  [in Japanese] The Role of Kebozu in Promoting Religious Solidarity in Burakumin Villages in Tanba  [in Japanese]

This paper is primarily concerned with those individuals who promoted religious solidarity among burakumin, or discriminated communities, and in the early modern period laid the foundation for Saisei Temple in Takaya village, Taki county, Tanba. My target audience is mainly people interested in the history of the burakumin or Shin Buddhism. The main findings of my research are as follows: 1. The kebozu, or priests, of a burakumin community are little different from those of the general populace. 2. The temples in burakumin communities in Tanba struggled financially. 3. The kebozu played an important political role in early modern Takaya village.
