| 内容記述 | This is a sequel of this particular authorʼs former paper titled “A mythical monster, Shii promoted the Shibues, top masters of Kappa, the most popular water monster in Japan”（Komma 2021a）. In the previous paper concerned, the author tried to clarify the historical process of the formation of the notion of Shii in Japan. It was originated in medieval China. Several Chinese books imported into Japan refer to Shii, saying that the monster resembling a racoon dog can miraculously steal into anybodyʼs chamber at amy time at will without being noticed, that it often harms anybodyʼs eyes, face, and limbs, and that it may kill the victims at times. Though the Chinese books never include cattle （nor horse） among Shiiʼs victims, when the natives of the Choushu domain in Westernmost Honshu had suffered from massive fatalities of their own cattle in the early 17th century, they named the legendary Shii as the incidentʼs supernatural cause. After several decades, a Shinto priest living in the Choushu domain who happened to be at a village in the Chikuzen domain in Northern Kyuhshu, witnessed a similar incident of massive fatalities of the village cattle there. Having identified Shii as the cause, he eagerly recommended the villagers to find and kill racoon-dog-like creatures. Somehow they successfully hunted some heads of racoon-dog-like animals, after which massive fatalities of cattle suddenly ceased. Some other villages there followed suit and were successful in stopping the cattle killings. An exclusively famous Confusian in the Chikuzen domain at that time, Kaibara Ekiken who had seen the whole course of the events with his own eyes wrote the matter vividly in his books titled Chikuzennokuni-nochinofudoki and Yamato Honzou respectively. Hence the high popularity of Shii in the western half of Honshu and all of Shikoku and Kyushu. The previous paper may be summarized as this. In the present paper, the author compares the previous one with Dr. Kishi Hiroshiʼs papers on the outbreaks of rinderpest during the earlymodern times in Japan. Dr. Kishi is a veterinarian, who identified rinderpest as the cause of the aforesaid incident of the massive fatalities of native cattle in the Choshu domain by referring to plenty of archives strictly satisfying his 5 conditions, i.e. the victims are ① only cattle, ② who are infected with some virus, ③ and died, ④ rapidly, ⑤ and also massively （in a wide area）. Kishi is the very first and last person that substantiated the outbreaks of rinderpest during the early-modern times in Japan. His papers assisted the authorʼs present study on Shii indeed in that now we can safely say that the myth of Shii in Japan mainly originated due to the two rinderpest outbreaks. Then, the last question is why did the sudden rise of the very notion in Western Japan as a whole occur just in the period of massive deth toll during the Kyohou great famine in the early 18th century which did not fulfill Dr. Kishiʼs 5 conditions mentioned above, for not only cattle but also horses died in a great number here, there, and everywhere in the area concerned. In the present paper, the author insists as follows. Through the extremely miserable experiences during the two outbreaks of rinderpest in the early-and-mid 17th century, the native peasants realized that horses can substitute their dead cattle as ploughing animals. As is the case, they feared the Kyohou great famine from the bottom of their hearts, during which their horses died together with their cattle leaving no ploughing animals behind at all. Now you might have understood how the combination of the authorʼs “emic” method of research and Kishiʼs “etic” one is so effective, as the author shows in the present paper in details. | |||||||||
