| Research Abstract |
This paper attempts to draw up the motif-index by classifying and analyzing the illustrations of Pictorial Description of the Noted Places of Awa in every motif. First, 59 illustrations were arranged within the motif of 3,000 items, and then classified into about 40 categories, each of which is further divided into lower-layered categories of dozens of items. All categories were supplied with the search function, and thus the motif-index with the function of structural search was created. The following two points became possible : analysis of the pictures by mutual relationship with this motif-index, and clarification of details of pictures that have been unnoticed. Ultimately, the cases of the data use for comprehension of illustrations were presented here, and also a new method of clarifying their relationship with literary works and of reviewing the literary quality was suggested.
This paper attempts to present a new teaching method of learning of expression by the use of waka poems and illustrations with captions and also to exemplify the method that was practiced in the two classes at primary and junior high schools.
