This paper tentatively names Tokugawa Ieyasu-related military writings known as
Kanpon Mikawaki, as “
‘manabon’ Mikawaki” (
The Mikawa Chronicles written entirely in Chinese characters), and, as a basis for its research, aims to investigate the theory of “Matsubara Jikyū” as its compiler. Matsubara Jikyū was known as a former retainer of the Tōdō clan from the Early Modern Period. Historical records of the Tōdō clan suggest that the name he went by was “Yamaji Shōbee”, not “Matsubara Jūemon” as is commonly cited. Based on this, a search for the sources of the main text reveals that two thirds of the whole originate from his own authorship, and this work belongs as a re-compiling of pre-existing works by Jikyū into military writings with Ieyasu as main theme. Even writings which are present only in
‘manabon’ Mikawaki and not found among works by Jikyū – considered the source - also support the theory of Matsubara Jikyū as compiler. From the above, I consider the theory of Matsubara Jikyū as compiler to be appropriate. Furthermore, in part IV of this paper, I indicate the possibility that the one third of the main text whose direct sources are not found could have sources in a lost work by Jikyū.
