| Research Abstract |
As textual study of classical Japanese literary works has become increasingly specialized by period and genre, this research project has taken a comprehensive approach to textual changes in searching for general rules that can be applied when considering the unique features of each period and genre.
In order to meet this end, three topics were established : (1)textual change and the act of copying, (2)textual reproduction and artistic consciousness, and (3)the legitimization of texts. In the three years of the project, eight project meetings were held. Research presentations were made not only by the project representative and team members, but also by others who were invited to present papers. Research collaborators, young researchers, and specialists in specific areas gave papers on different aspects of the research topic. In the eighth and last meeting, a symposium on "Textual Changes and Stability" was held at which those attending the symposium joined in a discussion about the current status of textual study and the directions in which the discipline should develop in the future.
Through these activities, we acknowledged once again the fact that there are substantial differences between different genres in the methodology and procedures of textual study and in the understanding of textual transmission. The project helped form a large degree of common understanding about the direction and forms in which textual study should proceed in the future.
The insights that have been gained from the three years of research can be seen in the results of the eleven individual papers by project participants named in the list. The report for the three-year research project makes public twelve complete papers and two transcriptions of manuscripts, comprising not only work by the project leader and project members, but also by research collaborators and guests invited to the symposium.
