Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, I summarized the waka poetic activities of approximately 750 writers who appeared in "Rokujyo-eiso" (collection of Japanese poems by Ozawa Roan), and clarified the actual state of academic exchange in the Middle to Late Early Modern Japan. Next, I clarified the publication background and edition type of the Shoho version of the "Nijyu-ichi-daishu" (twenty-one collections of waka compiled by imperial command) published by Shiroemon Yoshida of the kinri-goshomotsu-dokoro (Bookshop to deal with Imperial Palace）, and conducted a survey of the collection of poetry books by Ozawa Roan and her students to reveal academic exchange through books in the Middle to Late Early Modern Japan. In addition, by examining materials related to the academic activities of Hikurodo (trainee in the Kurododokoro) in the Roan Collection of Kyoto Women's University, I was able to clarify some aspects of what the academic activities of Hikurodo in the boundary region of status were like.
