| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main research outputs include books, research papers, presentations at international conferences and lectures. First, in terms of books, I discussed spas and literature in two co-authored books published in Japan and Germany. Additionally, I wrote four research papers, analyzing topics such as mythology and bathing, hot springs and medicine, women and spas, and spas in films. At international conferences, I presented on the representation of spas in French, British and Japanese literature and films at the University of Vienna, the University of Macau, the Clermont Auvergne University and the University of Georgia.
Ultimately this research reveals that the unique characteristics of spas, where physical and mental healings intertwine with mythology, religion, love, money, betrayal, despair and death, inspire continuously not only numerous writers but also filmmakers.
