| Research Abstract |
In the East Asia shaped by the continental coast, peninsulas, and straits the activities of people whose lives were lived through the seas are of great significance. This research project linked together issues treated as international relations history as cultural interaction history, and as maritime history, and, further, called this "maritime region history"
From this perspective, we uncovered historical sources known and unknown, forwarded new methodologies, and brought light to facets of history that had not yet been observed. When we examined historical sources from the perspective of "maritime region history" the characteristics of the materials typically offered difficult problems.
First, many documents were prepared from the perspective of the core(state)looking at the periphery(maritime region). Second, we had to analyze documents which included "falsehoods" and "exaggerations." Third, we had to utilize documents such as literary texts and stage-performances that include "historically true" information whose veracity is not yet confirmed.
Based upon this understanding of the sources to be employed, we composed three problems : what are historical maps saying? ; the space between discourse and "historical truth" in literary expression ; and pushing beyond the issue of false and truth in impostor identities. We conducted research that sought to broaden the possibilities in utilizing historical sources in the study of maritime region history. The result is numerous and various contributions not only by the research team leader and the research team members, but also by scholars whom we invited to participate in this project. These research results have been published in international academic journals, edited volumes, and books, and the newest research has been collected in the research report.
