| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the performances of Madame Hanako’s company, given at the beginning of the early 20th century when Western people had limited opportunities to see Japanese theatre. I collected extensive material on her company from both the West and Japan. The examination of these materials illuminated how Madame Hanako succeeded in the West. She projected a Western image of ‘Nippon (Japan)’ in her performances by using the skills she acquired through her experiences as a child actor with the female kabuki performers and her training as a geisha. Her skills were developed through the kabuki tradition. Therefore, she was a suitable actress for introducing Japanese theatre to Western audiences during this period. Furthermore, Madame Hanako can be regarded as a pioneering Japanese artist who won an international reputation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
20世紀初頭、海外でデビューし、20年におよぶ活躍ののち、日本に帰国し以後舞台に立つことのなかった日本女優・マダム花子については、関係資料が海外に分散しているため、これまでまとまった研究はなされてこなかった。特に日本における資料・調査と西欧における資料・調査をつなぐ総括的な研究が必要とされていた。
本研究ではそれを実行し、成果を一般の方々にも分かるよう書籍にまとめることができた。ロダンのモデル、あるいは森鴎外の小説「花子」のヒロイン（のモデル）でもある花子が、自らの技芸を生かしながら、海外の観客が見たがっている〈日本〉を意識的に見せ、成功をつかんでいった軌跡を示せたものと思う。
