| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the past, the Empire of Japan expanded its sphere of influence in Asia. Japanese Empire even announced to build a “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”. At the time, the imperial government decided to collect folk tales from each territory for the purpose of understanding different cultures and lives in different territories. The folk tales that found to be similar to Japanese folk tales were taken as a tool to justify the war and Japanese domination. Therefore, YANAGITA Kunio and SEKI Keigo who studied the folk tales after the war claimed that there was no academic value in those folk tales. However, nowadays there have been growing interests in studying folk tales in Japan and overseas, returning to the past and rethinking the folk tales is not only necessary for understanding the history, but it should be taken as a responsibility for Japan. In my research, how the folk tales were related to the teaching material in each territory has been found.
