| Research Abstract |
I participated in the commemorative symposium 'The Current Study of Japanese Culture and Japanese Literature in China' (October, 2005) held to celebrate the 20^<th> anniversary of the foundation of the Japanese Studies Centre of Peking, China, and discussed problems of culture acceptance including Waka (Poems) translation with Chinese scholars of Japanese classical literature, and collected various material relating to Ancient Chinese Thoughts on Manners and Music. In Seoul University Library, Seoul, South Korea, I also collected material (March, 2006) and researched the oldest edition of 龍飛御 天歌, an Anthology selected and edited by the King in the Yi Dynasty.
