| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The first months of the research period have been devoted the following: 1) A preparatory survey of the materials concerning the research project and to get in touch with the scholars and their current researches; 2) Iconographic analysis of the pelican in the Western painting of the 14th century. The pelican did not start to appear in panels and wall paintings until the beginning of the 14th century and was a particular feature of Italian art. The main reason for this sudden diffusion is related to the new spirituality promoted by the mendicant orders, particularly by the Franciscans. The correlation between the Franciscan mysticism and the iconographic and stylistic innovations in art promoted by Giotto and his followers. Giotto’s large Painted Cross of San Felice in Piazza (1307 ca.) would be the archetype for the spread of pelican iconography in the art of the 14th century. The strong relationship between the pelican allegory and the Lignum vitae encouraged the viewer to identify emotionally with the sufferings of Christ. The Franciscan mystical spirituality, by means of public sermons, fostered the transmission of the pelican allegory from the Lignum vitae to the painted crosses; 3) Presentation at international symposium in Washington DC (USA) and Busan (Republic of Korea), see NOTES below 13.研究発表（平成27年度の研究成果）for some further details.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
For research project based on the analysis of fourteenth century Italian frescoes correlated with the Franciscan missionaries’ reports of their journeys in East Asia, Japanese research institutes bring about a fruitful and meaningful outcome. Japan, indeed, is an excellent starting point from which to carry out the inspection trips in other countries of Eastern Asia, where to look for traces, testimonies and artistic products of Christian culture of the last centuries. In order to understand how Europe and East Asia had reciprocally influenced each other during the Middle Ages with respect to artistic production, it is necessary to consider the two types of art from different points of view. Italy and Japan share a long and important academic tradition in the study of history of art, but with different approaches and methods, both essential to completely understand the mutual influence
Rikkyo University in Tokyo is one of the best suitable seats to conduct this kind of research: the Department of Christian Studies, with Christianity as its main focus, is a very qualified center for the exegesis of the historical sources, especially in the fields of Theology, History and Art.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The results of research of two conferences held in Busan and in Washington DC will be aimed at publishing two articles in peer-reviewed international journals. In the spring semester of 2016, Dr. Simbeni will held a seminar at Rikkyo University on the theme of the iconography of the Virgin Mary in Western Art during the late Middle Ages and other universities in Tokyo. The aim of this seminar is to create a working group specialized in Italian Art of the Franciscan and Dominican Orders in the late medieval period.
Furthermore, Dr. Simbeni will prepare for present a proposal in order to participate as speaker at the Seventh International Conference on The Actual Problems of History and Theory of Art, entitled “Artifact, Art-object, Argument. Object in Fine Arts: Objectives, Methods, Results” which will be held in Saint Petersburg (Russia) in October 11-15, 2016. This conference is an interdisciplinary scientific forum dedicated to the whole spectrum of current issues of history and theory of visual arts and architecture, cooperation between art historians and museum staff, important questions of studying, conservation and interpretation of world artistic heritage. The conference is held under the patronage of Saint Petersburg State University, Lomonosov Moscow State University and The Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg.
Dr. Simbeni is also planning to present one more proposal to participate as speaker at the annual international conference organized by the Italian universities of Florence, Siena, Pisa, Bologna, Padua, Verona, Genoa.
