Mitamura Engyo - Mitamura Engyo

A researcher of the Edo period. Born in Hachioji, Tokyo. His real name was Genryu. He researched the politics, customs, literature, and culture of the Edo period, and left behind a vast body of work. As an independent researcher, many of his works, such as "Edo no chinbutsu" (1913), "Iga no suigetsu" (1918), "Edokko" (1933), and "Torimono no hanashi" (1934), were written in the form of reading material, and as such are lacking as academic research, but they are recognized as having built the foundations for today's Edo studies research.

Japanese:

江戸時代研究者。東京・八王子の生まれ。本名玄龍(げんりゅう)。江戸の政治、風俗、文学、文化のすべてにわたって研究し、膨大な業績を残した。『江戸の珍物』(1913)、『伊賀の水月』(1918)、『江戸ッ子』(1933)、『捕物の話』(1934)など在野の研究者として、その著作は多く読み物の形をとっており、その点学問研究としてもの足らない点もあるが、今日の江戸学研究の基礎を築いたものとして認められる。
