Outline of Final Research Achievements

I provided a new model to understand the history of paintings of the Kamakura period, associating with the political system. The history of paintings in the Kamakura period has been active in researching individual works, but there seems not to have been a standard viewpoint for historical development. In this research, while focusing on the historical development of NISE'E, which is the former subject of my research, the paintings of this period were widely taken into consideration. As a result I have built the new model for understanding the history of the paintings in Kamakura period systematically.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

院政期から鎌倉時代にかけては院政が主なる政治体制であった。過去には、院政は、院の専制性が強調されたが、近年では、院・天皇・摂関の共同執政であるという見解が強まっている。しかし、美術史研究においては、院の専制的な性格が絢爛豪華な美術品を生み出す原動力であるとする説明が行われている。本研究では、日本史研究の新しい成果を取り入れつつ、時々刻々と変化する流動的な政治体制と美術品の成立の関係を連動させることで、旧来の鎌倉時代絵画史のイメージを改めた。
