長野県飯山市小菅における宗教建築維持の仕組み: 『小菅区有文書』の分析を通じて

摘要

以上、本論では、『小菅区有文書』における宗教建築の維持に関する史料を整理しつつ、とりわけ費用に着目して宗教建築の維持に関する仕組みの全体像を把握した。%This study sets out to analyse the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of religious buildings in a village context by analysis of historical documents relating to Kosuge, Iiyama city, Nagano prefecture. The version of the mechanism developed in the pre-Meiji era to maintain the religious buildings managed by the villagers of Kosuge persisted even after the Meiji era. Moreover, although the maintenance was carried out and overseen mainly by the people of Kosuge, a regional economy would then have developed using money collected locally to pay for human and material resources.
