Dear SSJ-Forum list member,
the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at the University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:
Gerald Groemer:
"The Grand Festivals of Edo (tenka matsuri): Religion, Performance, and Politics in the Shogun's Capital during the Early Modern Period"
Date and time: Thursday, October 12, 2023, 18:00~19:30 (CEST, UTC+2h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 17:45 (CEST).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)
In this lecture Gerald Groemer (University of Yamanashi, Japan) will present several great festivals honoring the Tokugawa bakufu that were staged in Edo in an annual rotation. These were the Sannou Festival, the Kanda Festival, and in 1714 the Nezu Festival. Each event was accompanied by an enormous parade, in which the three sponsoring shrines and supporting city wards presented portable shrines, huge floats, colorful exhibits, exuberant performances of music and dance, and much else. For the bakufu, the shrines, and ward residents the meaning of these festivals changed in conjunction with the social, economic, political, and religious contexts in which the celebrations were embedded. This talk will trace some of these changes in order to better understand what the great festivals of the city signified to sponsors, participants, and spectators alike.
This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for 50 people.
