| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research is to analyse the history of Japan-Germany literatural and cultural exchanges. It is also aimed to analyse the present features of cultural exchanges of two countries. The research is based on database analysis. The aspects of the analysis are the correlation of changes of the social class which bears culture, and that of media industry and cultural communication of Japan and Germany. In the first year we improved conditions required for database construction. In the following year we made it possible to use an Access database as a Web database using ASP (Active Server Pages), which improved the accuracy and speed of data analysis. Moreover, Web database construction is effective as basic technology of the history research of cultural exchanges. This is mentioned as a technical result of this research. In the third year we analysed the features of Japan-Germany literatural and cultural exchanges on the basis of the database built until now. It was aimed at Germ

an literature, the German juvenile literature, the German movie, and the German fine arts as research fields. We analysed the translations of the German literature in Japan from 1880 to 1995 , the translations of every writer, the translation of every work, translation made by every publishing company, etc. The results were specifically graphized, and the factors of a change were made clear from social backgrounds and the history of media. As a result it was clarified that two World Wars were deeply concerned with acceptance of the German literature in Japan. The acceptance immediately after World War I and World War II was rapidly increased. The same result was obtained about the German juvenile literature. About the German movie, it became clear in data that the acceptance of prewar days was more prosperous than postwar acceptance and that the peak of acceptance is in the 50s and the first half of the 80s after the war. The acceptance of the German modern arts was promoted by the exhibitions of department store attached art museums especially from the 80s. But the closing of department store attached art museums due to the economical depression after the second half of the 90s lead to the decreasing of the German fine-arts-related exhibition. Furthermore, the international symposium, in which the researcher of three universities in the United States and two South Korean universities took part in, was held at the Chuo University and took a high reputation of the researchers.
