鎌倉時代 武家의 惣領繼承과 假名 硏究

Abstract

Yukihiko Seki is an historian professionalized in Medieval Japan, and she calls the Medieval Japan that created samurai as “a period with no precedent.” Medieval Japan was “a period with no precedent” even with the naming system. Medieval Japan was when Japanese naming system was developed and it has close relations to the samurai hierarchy. How Medieval Japan also became a turning point for the new type of “precedent” towards the naming system of Japan is examined in this research under two perspectives. One is known as samurai’s Kemyou (假名), which is given in the order of birth, and the other is the inheritance conflict of Souryou (惣領) between a warrior family. In this research, two perspectives were identified to observe the following results. In Medieval Kamakura period, Kemyou (假名) was unlikely in the order of birth for giving name; this affirmatively theorizes that it had to be in close relations with the inheritance of household in a warrior’s family or also known as the inheritance of Souryou (惣領).
