Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purple was considered to be the noblest color in ancient Japan. We did an experiment of reviving Japanese original Murasaki which is designated as an endangered species. By researching "Engi-shiki" , wooden tablets(木簡)and other historical materials about Shikon and make samples by changing the material ,amounts, We succeeded to make a estimation about how ancient people may made the color. We also enabled to reveal the characteristic of Shikon production under ancient Japanese government’s management like the way how they kept, transported, made Shikon and preparation of the materials.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

古代紫根染の再現には様々な染色家が取り組んできたが、本研究は染色家と考古学・歴史学の専門家が共同で行い、文献ほか各種資料と染色実験とを相互に検証しながら進めたことが特色である。再現実験についても、ひとつの復元案に固執せず、多数のサンプルを作成し、色に影響を与える各種条件の違いについて多角的に検証し、今後の研究にも利用できる基礎データを用意できた。実験結果は展示会などを通じて公開しており、古代紫根染への一般の方々の関心を高める役割も果たした。
