Research Abstract

1. The main aim of this project is to try to understand the cave monastery as reflecting an overall image of a certain historical society in association with various disciplines of the humanities. It also stand on the criticism of those who deal with cave monasteries as local cultural unity.
2. In parallel with digitalizing the black/white photographs of cave temples and the color photographs of the mural paintings in Afghanistan such as Bamiyan, Foladeh, Kakrak . and Fil Khana, the structure of caves in Bamiyan was successfully analyzed in comparison with those in Kucha and other Cental Asian examples.
3. The overall architectural reassessment of the Taxila Buddhist monaseries has been set out typologically reexamining the masonries of each cult building in relation to the general planning of monasteries. The work seems successful for a chronological rearrangement of Buddhist activities throughout ages especially in the visual aspect of temple, and for a better understanding of general development of monastic life.
4. The date of the colossi in Bamiyan has variously been given without firm ground of evidence. This grant-in-aid project has made it possible to get access to all of the Chinese and Muslim literary sources and therefore a historical circumstance of Bamiyan has potentially emerged from such evidence. This has facilitated a new date for Bamiyan, which is published together with other important things in a separate booklet.
