Outline of Final Research Achievements

I did research on Illustrations in books about popularity of KABUKI actors and books about plot of plays,which is important for study of KABUKI. These Illustrations have a relation each other. Their Illustrations bear some parallels in their compositions and details.
The similarities can look not only in the books published in the same company but also in the different companies.
When you look the Illustrations, you will find the matters which are not clear in the texts of these books. The Illustrations make up for the texts.
