| Research Abstract |
I summarized my achievement into two articles. The first one is entitled as a Historical Research on How Japanese People had adopted Foreign Music during the Latest Edo Period and the Meiji Period through investigating Changing Features of Folk Songs and Popular Songs in Those Days. The second one is entitled as an Investigation of the Historical Materials demonstrating the Historical Background How Foreign Music had been introduced into Nagasaki during 1860s to 1880s. The First one is mostly based on the Nagasaki News Papers and the Seikai News Papers. My conclusions in the article are as follows. From year of 1879 on, concerts of Chinese music and Japanese music by Geisha girls of Maruyama-street obtained great popularity in Nagasaki, which gave the books of Chinese Music highly good reputation. In 1889, a famous Master of Chinese Music, Nagahara Baien, published a music book, Gekkin-Zokkyoku Imayo Tenaraigusa, in which she adopted 12 school songs compiled by the Ministry of Educatio

Kramer, which remains well-known as Musunde Hiraite also in today's Japan, and the famous Aria of Papageno by Morzart etc. This music book by Nagahara played the great part of making these European songs favorite among the Japanese Masses.
For the second article, I compiled many useful materials which demonstrate the historical processes of introducing European and Chinese songs and instrumental music into Nagasaki during 1860 and 1880s. In the article, I quoted the most important parts of materials I had collected. These materials teach us as follows. Firstly, through the policy of the Ministry of Education upon the pupils, vulgar popular songs became losing reputation among the Japanese Masses. Secondly, the Ministry of Education had put much more importance upon the improvement of health of pupils through the teaching of music than the cultivation of music ability or fine, sensibility of music. Thirdly, in some Mission-schools, such as the Kassui School, the education of music and the training of the musical instruments as the piano, were attached much importance, which made them successful in fostering musical sensibility among the students. I collected these two articles into a booklet. Less
