| Research Abstract |
California Study, our project, has been aiming at the integration of California in search for the possibility of crosscultural exchange between Japan, U.K. and U.S.A. by both American studies and English studies. It is, we are sure, not until the consolidation of many areas of research that California can be fully realized. In the Report of research results, under the basic assumption of Japanese idea of California common to three investigators, we have discussed California from each perspective. Kato was concerned with "The State of California, U.S.A. : Its Cultural Topography" ; Hayashi was concerned with "New Mexico, the Landbridge to California-a Chicano Writer and a Chicano Poet" ; and Nosaki was concerned with "Japanese-English and Japanese-American Writers and War-Focusing on Kazuo Ishiguro's ‘A Pale View of Hills.'"
