『旗本三嶋政養日記』にみる幕末期中級旗本の居住様態及び家政変遷に関する小考

摘要

小考では，旗本日記『旗本三嶋政養日記』を基礎史料に幕末期の中級旗本の家政，付随して家族制度及び往時の社会動向を関連付け，その居住様態を具体的に論じるものである.徳川期の旗本の日記体裁の公私記録としては正徳の治の枢機に関与した新井白石の公務日記『新井白石日記』（大日本古記録）や勘定奉行等を勤め幕府崩壊に殉じた川路聖謨の公私日記『川路聖謨日記』（日本史籍協会叢書），川路同様幕末期にあって軍艦奉行等の要職を歴任し，咸臨丸の船将·遣米副使としても人口に膾炙している木村芥舟の『木村摂津守喜毅日記』など史上著名人のそれは数例を数え得るが，伝存する一般旗本の日記類等の記録は極めて少なく，『旗本三嶋政養日記』は希有のテクストである.%"Diary of Masakiyo Mishima, Shogun's Vassal" is a fine historical text, wrote by one adopted Samurai, Masakiyo Natsume who was one of the cadences in Natsume Family, inherited Mishima Family even after Mishima Family suffering from lapse of the official heirship, which is called "Matsugo-youshi" in the inheritance process of Samurai class in the Edo Era. The diary covers the years of ending Edo Era up to the beginning of Meiji Era with very detailed descriptions in the form of time-series. Because Mishima Family was classified as one of middle-class clans of Shogun's Vassal, thus had a main manor (Kami-yashiki) as well as a sub manor (Shimo-yashiki), we can follow how he did with the manors stipulated by the conventions of that time on household, family system as well as estate, which were all impacted with the revolutionary changing happened with the collapse of Tokugawa-House (Tokugawa-Bakufu). We abstract several interesting issues from the architectural (or social scientific if we like to say broadly) point of view, and discuss on those.
