| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ritsukan are a type of pitch pipe invented in pre-Qin period China and introduced to Japan during the Nara period. This study examines the background and current state of the instrument. I have measured 7 ritsukan held by 5 Japanese museums, with the following results: (1) the measurements are similar, so their pitches likely do not differ significantly; and (2) some doubt exists whether these ritsukan were produced using the sanbun-son’eki (Pythagorean temperament) method. Further research is required to clarify the relationship of Japanese ritsukan and gakuritsugaku, the theory of musical pitches thought to be their antecedent.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、律管という側面から、日本の楽律学の再発見と再評価に貢献したことである。楽律学とは、中国伝統音楽における広義の音楽理論を指し、清代以前には、主に雅楽に関わる理論として発展した。中国では、雅楽の伝承が途絶えた一方で、楽律学は今日なお継承されているのに対し、日本では、雅楽が伝承されている一方で、楽律学の存在は忘却されてきた。しかし、近年、音楽学や中国哲学の一部において、日本の楽律学の再評価が進みつつあり、本研究はその一助と考えている。
