Outline of Final Research Achievements	Despite the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully completed the cataloging of the basic bibliographic data for the Lane Collection as initially planned. We frequently held international joint seminars online. Thanks to the collaboration of Professor Emeritus Huey(UHM), we were able to gather approximately 20 participants for each meeting. It was a great accomplishment for all to share the forefront of research on Japanese classic books and Japanese classical literature. Furthermore, I am pleased to highlight that Professor Emeritus Huey and I had the opportunity to deliver a joint presentation at the AATJ2022 international conference. Our research on Japanese classic books beyond Japan's borders has evolved into an interactive study, attracting active participation from researchers in the United States. This accomplishment demonstrates that our primary goal of establishing a truly international joint research project has been fully realized.
Free Research Field	日本文学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	特に絵本と絵入り本の蔵緒に富んだ重要な研究資源であるレインＣの文献調査が完了したこと（学術基盤データの構築）の学術的意義は、まことに大きいものがある。ＡＡＴＪ２０２２（アメリカ日本語教育学会）におけるパネル発表も、日本古典籍の教育面での利活用を提案するにふさわしい場であった。また、ホノルル美術館の御理解と御許可を得て、レインＣの優品を月刊誌『俳句四季』（東京四季出版）誌上で連載していることも社会的意義の高い研究成果だと自覚している（「てのひらの江戸　古典籍を旅する」）。
