The present essay examines this system, known as alternate attendance, from two major perspectives: first, as a symbol of authority, both of the shogun and bakufu as national hegemons and of individual daimyo as local rulers; and second,as performance or theater. It does this through an analysis of the form in which these movements were made?the daimyo procession?as depictedin contemporary accounts of Japanese and foreigners, in oral literature, and in a number of popular cultural forms including woodblock prints,picture game boards, printed books, and horizontal scrolls.}, pages = {3--54}, title = {Lordly Pageantry : The Daimyo Procession and Political Authority}, volume = {17}, year = {2005} }
