This article contributes to the growing literature on the nexus of religion and emotion, thinking through the ways in which historians of Japan can make interventions in the field, and exploring research methodologies that speak to a pre‐modern and non‐Christian milieu. In looking to the moral and pedagogical philosophy of Hosoi Heishū (1728–1801), a Tokugawa Confucian teacher and itinerant preacher, this article places an emphasis on the use of contextualised and historically‐specific emic categories of belief and feeling. To do so, it explores the popularising movement of Japanese Confucianism in the late eighteenth century, tracing Hosoi's development of vernacular sermonising and his identification of emotion as both a subject and object of instruction. His rhetorical style and pedagogy is unpacked, followed by an analysis of his popular reception, before turning to a sermon case study to observe these ideas in action. This article offers new insights into the viewing habits and emotional expectations of Tokugawa audiences, underscoring the ways in which emotion terms and concepts can change meaning in how they are defined, embodied, expressed, and valued as part of a broader habitus.

德川儒道作为流行的情感教育：细井平硕的道德和教学哲学*

本文为有关宗教和情感联系的日益增长的文献做出了贡献，通过思考日本历史学家可以在该领域进行干预的方式进行思考，并探索了与前现代和非基督教环境有关的研究方法。在探讨德川儒教和巡回传教士细水平秀（1728–1801）的道德和教学哲学时，本文重点介绍了上下文和历史特定的信仰和情感特质类别的使用。为此，它探索了18世纪末期日本儒学的普及运动，追溯了Hosoi的白话布道的发展以及他对情感既是教学对象又是教学对象的认同。他的修辞风格和教学法很讲究，接下来是对他的受欢迎程度的分析，然后转向布道案例研究，以观察这些想法在实践中的作用。本文提供了对德川观众的观看习惯和情感期望的新见解，强调了情感术语和概念可以如何在更广泛的习惯中定义，体现，表达和重视的方式改变含义。
