| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined historically the process of acceptance of the Emperor's authority in local communities during the Meiji period, focusing on the development of the public education system. As a result, the following three points became clear.
①In HigashiOkitama-gun, Yamagata Prefecture, Mishima, the governor of the prefecture, had Shibayama, the county mayor, establish modern schools and modernize the local community.②The modernization of HigashiOkitama-gun was promoted by people who had political sympathy for Mishima's management, in contrast to Minami-Oshi-gun, which was opposed to Mishima. Mishima then expected that HigashiOkitama-gun, which sympathized with him, would complete his project (modernization of the local community).③The schools in HigashiOkitama-gun accepted the Emperor's visit as an "honor" and "pride" and encouraged the people to accept his authority.

本研究成果の意義は、明治期の山形県において、学校教育が整備され、そしてその学校を通じて近代的な天皇像が形成される過程を、強権的な手法で急速な近代化を図った県令三島通庸と地域社会との政治的距離感に留意して明らかにした点にある。さらにその過程を明治前期に行われた天皇巡幸に着目して検討することで、地域社会に創設された学校を通じて人々に近代的な天皇像が形成されていくプロセスの一端を示した。これらの検討は、教育史研究における近代天皇制の検討にも新たな手法を提示した点で、有意義なものと考えている。
