近世滋賀院の運営組織と境内構成

摘要

This study seeks to clarify the management system and organization of Shiga-in Temple, the head temple of the Hieizan school of Buddhism, through the analysis of historical materials related to hieizan Enryakuji Temple in the collection of Eizan Bunko that were newly opened to research.Three organizations controlled the management system of Shiga-in Temple. One of them, the Shiga-in Rusui, was a priest appointed to fulfilla number of duties, including that of representing the temple in external relations, of serving as deputy for the head of the temple when he was absent, as well as managing internal tasks and receiving guests. Historical documents and diary materials reveal that repair works to Shiga-in Temple were carried out repeatedly. Using historical drawings, we were also able to elucidate the appearance of the temple during different periods of restoration works between the 17th and 19th century.%本論文は、近世において比叡山延暦寺の中枢機能を有していた、 滋賀院の運営組織と境内構成について、文書•絵図史料からの実証 的な検証を試みたものである。滋賀院の運営では、天台宗教団の天 台座主や、関東天台宗教団の輪王寺門跡を頂点としつつ、実際の運営は滋賀院留守居が担当した。この3組織の体制や、異なる性格を 明らかにしたことで、他の寺院に見られない特徴を有することを確 認した。そうした滋賀院の境内構成は、17世紀につくられてから災 害に対する復旧工事や、境内北側に新改築を含む幕府による修復工 事などを経ながらも、主要な建物の基本構成を大きく変化させずに近世を通して維持されてきたことが、各史料から明らかになった。
