Toward a new, open knowledge
Starting in the mid-18th century, a large quantity of previously unpublished works were published and made available to a wide audience.
In this video, Prof. Ichinohe introduces the publishing activity of various late Edo-period scholars and intellectuals. For many of them, publishing activity went hand in hand with their love for the past. By collecting and making available ancient materials, Edo scholars aimed to acquire a fuller and more accurate understanding of the cultural past.
