| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I had planned to conduct this research project over a three-year period, from FY 2019 to FY 2021. However, due to the Corona disaster, it became difficult to conduct material research at the temple after FY2020, so I changed my original plan and extended the project period twice.
During the period when I was unable to conduct material research at the temple, I devoted my time to understanding previous research on modern Buddhist history. At the same time, I planned and organized research meetings on documentary sources. I also planned and organized a symposium on the relationship between Buddhism and war, one of the most important themes in the study of modern Buddhist history.
My research projects over the past five years have centered on researching and organizing (cataloging) materials at temples. At the same time, I was able to advance the project from the perspective of understanding trends in the study of modern Buddhist history and organizing related projects.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
各地で寺院資料の悉皆調査がおこなわれており、そのほとんどが前近代の寺院の実態を明らかにすることを目的としているなかにあって、本研究課題は近代の資料に注目するものである。
特に明治前期は、神仏分離や一宗一管長制により大きな変革を迎えた時期であり、また、昭和戦時期は、国策協力のために真言宗諸派が大真言宗として合併した時期である。これらの時期に注目することは、宝珠院という個別寺院の歴史を見る上で重要であるのみならず、学問史、宗教史、仏教史、そして大阪市という地域のなかで宝珠院を捉え直しつつ、明治政府の宗教政策や戦時下の総力戦体制を明らかにするための重要な事例として位置づけることが可能となる。
