摂津天満本願寺 寺内町の構成(中) : 豊臣秀吉による寺内町支配とその意味

抄録

In 1586, an incident occurred in Tenma Jinaimachi (Temple Town) and as a result more than 60 people in Tenma were punished by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the kanpaku (the chief adviser to the Emperor). Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hideyoshi began to intervene in the internal affairs of Tenma Honganji, step by step limiting its independence and subjecting it to civic control. In this article, I consider these events and try to show that the original incident was no accident and that Hideyoshi's policies were coherently conceived from the outset in order to dismantle Honganji Jinaimachi and develop Osaka Jokamachi (Castle Town).
