| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is a reexamination of the history and culture of medieval Japanese funerary rites from an East Asian Buddhist perspective.
It has been argued that the research of funerary rites was influenced by the Zen Buddhism of the Kamakura period (the origin of which is the Zen culture of the Song dynasty). In this context, this study uses the case of Sennyu-ji Temple, which entered the Song dynasty in the same period as Zen monks and practiced Song dynasty Vinaya and Tiantai, and empirically discusses the various aspects of the acceptance by other sects and temples of the Sennyu-ji school of Song dynasty manners, funeral rites, lifestyle and culture. This research is an attempt to revise the previous studies by demonstrating the influence of "Jiangnan Buddhism of the Song Dynasty" that was shared not only by the Zen sect but also by the Ritsu and Kyo sects.

本研究の学術的意義は、禅宗以外の僧や寺院・仏教文物の調査研究をすることでその共通項を見いだし、日本中近世から現代へとつながる葬祭儀礼文化の源流が「宋代の江南地域仏教」であることを多面的に論証したことにある。通説的な禅宗史観で構築された方法論や資料論を批判的に継承し、それらから解放された宋仏教文化の伝播や展開の諸様態をあきらかにすることで、これまで活用されていない文物の発見および再検討を促した。
さらに、かかる研究成果や方法論は、資料不足のため不明点が多い中国宋代およびその影響下にある東アジア諸国における仏教とその文化の実態解明にも援用可能な研究視座と考えられる。
