Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By an investigation and collection, I had confirmed 913 works of Seinan War Nishiki-e and made in the list. Also I had set up a Web site called “Seinan War Nishiki-e Database” and widely disclosed the result of this research to society. In this database, not only the list, but also 237 works are being exhibited now. Furthermore, I had received many requests such as newspaper serialization and a lecture. I unexpectedly had gotten a chance to give back to society, and met a request of society.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで西南戦争錦絵は、「ほぼ五百点に近いものがあると考えられる」(小西四郎「錦絵随想7」)と想像されてきただけで、本格的調査はなされていなかった。しかし本研究によって、900点を超える数の関連錦絵が刊行されていたことが明らかとなった。 これらを目録化し、掲載許可が得られた資料に関しては画像付きで広く社会に公開する「西南戦争錦絵データベース」を公開できたことで、いまだ研究が進展していないこの方面の研究基盤を構築できたのではないかと考えている。
