Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I analyzed the structure of the archives created and acquired by ex-feudal lord peers, as a case of Hotta's archives of former Sakura feudal lord. As results of this research, the outline of the organizations and functions of Earl of Hotta's household administrative organizations became clear, and the specific phases of documents creation, receipt, management and use were elucidated. In addition to presenting the results as a thesis, I held a symposium in cooperation with Sakura City and returned the results to the citizens.
