Thoughts on the common man

Japanese: 賤者考 - せんじゃこう
Thoughts on the common man
Motoori Uchito's system research book. 1 volume. Published in 1847 (Koka 4). It examines the origins of discriminated classes in the Edo period in about 52 items. While tracing their origins to the ancient Ritsuryo system, it also provides detailed descriptions of discriminated classes of the same era, and is particularly detailed on entertainers. However, it contains many errors about their historical origins, and unfortunately, due to the bias of the Kokugaku ideology that values ​​ancient times, it ultimately takes a discriminatory stance.

Japanese:
本居内遠(もとおりうちとお)の制度考証書。1冊。1847年(弘化4)成立。江戸時代における被差別身分の由来をおよそ52項目にわたって考証している。その起源を古代の律令制に求める一方,同時代の被差別民の区分をこまかく記し,とりわけ芸能民の資料にくわしい。しかし,その歴史的起源については誤りが多く,また,古代を是とする国学思想の偏見から,結局,差別する立場を取っているのが惜しまれる。【野口 武彦】
