Research Abstract	The results of our research published in this academic year are the articles in our final report and articles and reviews on Jewish topics in the Studies in Western Art, no.6 "Iconoclasm". These publications and the special issue "Art History and the Jew" in no.4 of the Studies in Western Art are the major results of our research. We have also succeeded in finding young scholars like Hinoue Chitoshi, who read his paper on Marc Chagall at our meeting and Ariki Koji, curator of the Utsunomiya Art Museum, who participated in our research in relatively early phase. This year two important Chagall exhibitions will be held in Japan. The catalogues of these shows contain Ariki Koji's article and a translation of S.T.Goodman's article (translated by Hinoue Chitoshi and Takeguchi Koji). These publications should also be mentioned as results of our new , younger members. This year I have made a brief research in Amsterdam and Paris. In my original research plan, visits to the Jewish Museum in New York and to the Center for Jewish Art in Jerusalem were also included, but the plan had to be changed because of the terrorist attacks in the U.S. and the deterioration of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Nevertheless, we have kept fruitful collaboration with some foreign scholars like Jerzy Malinowski (Warsaw), Tamar Garb (University of London), Catherine Soussloff (UC). The first phase of the present study has been successfully finished, but we are now preparing for the future research with more international collaborations.
