    今年度は当該期におけるその他の記録類について広く事例探索を行い、その分析を進めた。具体的には『舜旧記』『鹿苑日録』など、京都に住む僧侶や公家の日記を対象とした。現時点ではまだ分析結果の公表に至っていないが、早急に公表する予定である。また、蒐集したデータは、公用に供するためのデータベース化などを検討している。さらには当該期における諸権力による貨幣政策や、貨幣に限らない流通構造全体との関わりのなかで貨幣のあり方を検討する必要があるとの問題関心から、織豊政権や近世初頭の幕府および大名(藩)権力による経済政策の分析を進めた。具体的には東北地方で開発の進んだ金山を支配した仙台藩の様相を探ることとし、17世紀の金山を抱える村落における産金および藩による金収取について検討を行った。17世紀後半には産金量が早くも減少に転じたものの、金収取については継続的に行われたため、産金村落にとっては過重な負担になったことと、村落ではその対策として製鉄などの生業が進められたことを明らかにした。これについては既に脱稿しており、近い将来において論文集として刊行される予定である。また昨年度に引き続いて『兼見卿記』における金の使用記事について分析を行い、16世紀後半京都における貨幣としての金の普及過程について具体的に明らかにした。とりわけ当該期の金貨として著名な「天正大判」に関する記事を発見し、紹介した。従来は天正16年(1588)の鋳造開始とされているが、当該記事は天正15年(1587)2月のものであり、天正16年鋳造開始説が誤りであることを指摘した。このほか天理大学付属天理図書館が所蔵している伊勢御師関係史料の中に、中近世移行期の貨幣流通の様子が具体的に見いだせる史料があり、その調査を行っている。なるべく早く分析結果を公表したい。

    日本史においては従来中近世移行期と称されつつも中世・近世の区分により断絶的であった15〜17世紀を一体的に捉える視点に基づき、当該期における貨幣流通秩序の変容から、社会経済の構造的変遷を追究した。 とりわけ日本列島で統一的な流通秩序が形成・維持されていた状況の変化によって15世紀後半に新たに撰銭が社会問題化し、「悪銭」と呼ばれる銭貨が史料上頻出する事実について、その具体的事例の把握と構造の解明を行った。その結果、中世の経済構造を支えた隔地間流通が戦乱等による治安悪化によって不安定化し、また各地において地域権力としての戦国大名等が勃興することによって流通秩序の地域分化が発生したことが最大の原因であったことを指摘した。すなわち各地域において独自の銭貨供給や流通統制が発生し、それによって登場した「地域銭貨」が他地域へ流出した時に「悪銭」と認識されたものと捉えたのであり、「悪銭」の登場がかかる流通構造の変容に伴って出現したものであることを明らかにした。 また16世紀以降に金・銀が貨幣として流通しはじめる点について、中世の隔地間決済を支えた為替のシステムが流通路不安によって動揺し、その代替として金・銀が採用されたことが、貨幣として流通する要因になったことを指摘した。 このほか、当該期の社会秩序の変容過程を明らかにするため、戦国大名大内氏による政策決定の手順について検証し、また、加賀国を対象として在地社会秩序の解明も行った。 以上当該期の社会構造の変容を総合的に把握した上で、貨幣経済構造に主眼を置く問題関心から研究論文を作成した。
