| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dyestuff were used not only for dyeing textile but also in paintings, Nishiki-e prints, and polychrome sculpture. Especially for the red in Nishiki-e prints in the early Meiji period, it is thought that synthetic dyes were used. However, this research reveals it was carmine lake which was made of an insect red; cochineal. While, wool textile dyed with cochineal were already imported in the late Edo period.
Both carmine lake and textile dyed with cochineal were not produced in Japan, although they were available in Europe at the same time; in the early modern period.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
絵画や錦絵版画などに染料が用いられていることは、資料観察や技法書などの記述により以前から知られていた。今回、使われた染料を実資料の分析によって同定することで、染料利用の実態を一部明らかにした。
染料分析では、色素成分や媒染剤などを比較することで染料を同定する。本研究で着目したコチニールでは、染色の場合と、色材として加工される場合で、必ずしも同じ媒染剤を使っているとは限らないことが明らかとなった。資料の属性を考慮した染料の同定基準を再検討する必要がある。
