Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ceramics produced in southern China, such as Longquan ware, are widely distributed in and outside of China. On the other hand, since the Northern Song dynasty, Ceramics have been actively produced in the north and the south, and these ceramics were also distributed within the country. Therefore, it is expected that the distribution and acceptance of ceramics produced in Southern China differ among China and other countries. There have not been many studies comparing the distribution and acceptance of these ceramics in China with those in other countries. In this study, I collected materials of Southern Chinese ceramics produced from the 12th to 15th centuries, excavated from cemeteries, villages, shipwrecks, and harbor sites in northeastern and northern China, organized their trends, and clarified their characteristics. To compare the subsequent transmission of these ceramics, the characteristics of the reception of Chinese ceramics during the Edo period were also explained.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

世界各地に流通する中国陶磁器に関して、その流通状況と中国国内外での流通と受容のあり方に、時代・地域による差異があることを明らかにした。とくに磁器を生産した地域と異なる国・地域での流通・受容に違いがあること、また後世に中国陶磁器が伝世し用いられる場合でも、各社会・文化でそれらの陶磁器の位置づけが種類や器種により異なることを明らかにした。
