This paper adds consideration to the issue of the burial systems, funeral services, the erecting of family mausoleums, and ancestral rituals, etc., that are based on the practice of Confucian rituals – especially those related to funerals and festivals – by Mitsumasa Ikeda (1609‒1682) in Bizen Okayama clan. The funeral and ancestral rituals that Ikeda implemented were based on Zhu Xi's Family Rituals (家礼), they also referenced Qiu Jun's Wengong Jiali Yijie (文公家礼儀節) and adopted Jigu Dingzhi (稽古定制), both Ming Dynasty writings, in order to suit his position as a daimyo (大名) feudal lord. Attention is also brought to the fact that when the shinshoku-uke(神職請) Shinto priest system was implemented in place of the tera-uke(寺請) temple certificate system due to the strong critique on Buddhism at the time, Ikeda distributed a funeral and ancestral manual based on Family Rituals to the people of his fiefdom and promoted Confucian rituals. What is also important here when taking into account the actual circumstances of the acceptance of Confucian rituals in Japan is the fact that the Yangming School, including Kumazawa Banzan, supported these resolute actions by Ikeda, emphasized the necessity for practice of Family Rituals, so the differences between the study of Zhu Xi's writings and the ideas of the Yangming School sects did not become an issue.
