If we observe the reasons why Edo was doubly refered to as "miyako" (the Capital) and as "tokai" (Big city), we can come to grasp its unique epistemic system in which the "exteriority" pertaining to modern capitalism is bent toward the interior of the world empire (within the perspective of the Japanese chauvinism). The unique system was gradually established in the late 17th to the early 19th centuries, marked by the industrial production of the formerly imported commodities and the formation of indiginous labor in the urban market; I named this system "the closing country system" and tried to consider its internal relations with Power in "Kinsei."

Ban Kohkei, the scholar of Japanese literature in the mid-Edo period, showed a great attachment to "bunsho," or the Japanese style of writing, and passionately involved himself in not only writing in this style but teaching it and spreading its knowledge to others. His "bunsho" was the unnatural and vacuous style called "gikobun" (imitation classical style); yet it was also the new style discovered and created in the mid-Edo period. Kohkei actually applied this style to the recording of passing excitements in the daily life, and also taught it. I would like to present several vivid, albeit modest, examples of "bunsho" as a result of his efforts.

Fujitani Mitsue, who interprets myths as narratives expressing the aspects of a god inhering in the human body, maintains that everything will be fulfilled by the power of this godly spirit. According to him, the god exercises its power in the realm of the Obscure and dies when its shape is revealed. Therefore, if one wishes to induce the god's powers, communicate with others' gods and lead actions to fulfillment, one needs to acquire the ways to hide one's own desire (god) and still communicate its presence to others. For Mitsue, myths are the texts that embody the practices of arousing the inner god. But what problems are contained in such practices?

Romanticism Expressed in the Waka Poetics in the 18th and the 19th Centuries : Their Discursive Similarities with and Differences from the Poetics of Hakushu and Sakutaro(<Special Issues>What Are the Questions Concerning "Kinsei" (Modem Times)?)

As part of the argument which considers the discursive spaces of the 17th century to the 20th century as continuous, this paper treated the waka poetics in the 18th and the 19th centuries from the perspective of Romaticism defined as a movement in which self-transcendence was regarded as a means of meeting with one's essential self, using the discourses of Hakushu and Sakutaro as mirrors. In brief, Mabuchi found in the Ancient age projections of the original type, while Norinaga opened the way for placing the original type in the present. Roan, Kageki and Kotomichi, on the other hand, sought to cause the transcendental action through the temporal and spatial difference in the present.

Does the Edo Period Signify the Other to Us?(<Special Issues>What Are the Questions Concerning "Kinsei" (Modem Times)?)

After the Meiji Period, the Edo Period has never been discussed as the Other that threatens our present self-image. The Edo period has been considered either as the retrospectively-adored Past that might cure the Japanese unconscious of its contamination by its cultural opponent called Western modernity, or as the negative object to be rejected as premodern. Yet, the potential of the Edo Period as the Other to our contemporary modernity can be realized only when the Edo Period is defined, not as kinsei ([pre] modern times), but as kindai-the modernity that possessed order or disciplinary power.
