Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
古代の器物がどう呼ばれたかを復元する研究は先行研究が少なく、未知の部分がなお大きい。しかし本研究は、先行研究の成果を更新しつつ、奈良時代における実用食器の分類を実証的に復元したという点において、重要な意義をもつものである。また、古代日本の食文化は、今日の「和食」の原型といえ、その形成過程を考えるときに、古代食膳具の研究は不可欠である。本研究では、奈良時代の食器の具体的な用途・用法を一部で明らかにするなど、一定の成果が上がった。つまり、食器構成から古代の食を再現することが、本研究によって少しずつ可能となってきたのである。
