Yukikazu Yoshimi

Japanese: 吉見幸和 - よしみ・ゆきかず

Year of death: April 26, 1761 (May 30, 1761)
Year of birth: September 15, 1673 (October 24, 1673)
A Shintoist from the mid-Edo period. Born in Nagoya, Owari Province (Aichi Prefecture). Son of Yoshimi Tsuneyuki, a shrine official at Nagoya Toshogu Shrine. Commonly known as Sadanosuke, Katsuya, Sadaemon, and Sakyo-dayu. Pen names were Kyoken, Feng Shui-o, Togenshi, and Ryudotei. The appointment of shrine officials at Nagoya Toshogu Shrine began in the time of Yukikazu's grandfather, Sonozaki Naokatsu, who changed his name to Yoshimi Yukikatsu, and Yukikazu was born as the third son of Tsuneyuki. In 1694 (Genroku 7), his eldest brother resigned as head of the family due to illness, and the second brother died young, so Yukikazu became the successor. He first studied the family tradition, and later studied Kimonology under Asami Keisai, and Suika Shinto under Masagimachi Kimimichi and Tamaki Masahide. At the age of 64, in 1736 (Genbun 1), he wrote "Gobusho Setsuben" (included in the Daijingu Collection), which argued that "Shinto Gobusho," the central document of Ise Shinto, was a forgery. In the same year, he wrote "Zoekiben Bokusho Zokukai" and criticized Yoshida Shinto. In 1742 (Kanpo 2), after dedicating "Gobusho Setsuben" to Ise Shrine, in his later years he focused on studying "Nihon Shoki," which he considered to be the basis of all Shinto, and completed "Jindai Masayoshi" and "Jindai Shokei." <References> Abe Akio, "Yoshimi Yukikazu"

江戸中期の神道家。尾張国(愛知県)名古屋の人。名古屋東照宮の祠官吉見恒幸の子。通称は定之助,勝弥,定右衛門,左京大夫。号は恭軒,風水翁,嚢玄子,竜洞亭。名古屋東照宮の祠官に任じられたのは幸和の祖父園崎直勝の代からで,直勝は吉見幸勝と名を改め,その子恒幸の3男として幸和は生まれる。元禄7(1694)年長兄が病気のため家督を辞し,次兄は夭折だったため,幸和が後嗣となる。はじめ家学を修め,のち浅見絅斎に崎門学を,正親町公通,玉木正英に垂加神道を学ぶ。伊勢神道の中心的文献である『神道五部書』を偽書とする『五部書説弁』(大神宮叢書所収)を著したのは元文1(1736)年,64歳のときであった。同4年には『増益弁卜抄俗解』を著し,吉田神道を批判する。寛保2(1742)年,『五部書説弁』を伊勢神宮に奉納したのちの晩年は,神道全体の根拠であると考えた『日本書紀』の研究に集中し『神代正義』『神代尚絅』を完成させた。<参考文献>阿部秋生『吉見幸和』
