Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, case study subjects were selected from known examples of Buddhist sculptures from the ancient and medieval periods, and the history of the sculptures up to the present day and the various discourses that have accumulated were traced. The study also examined how the modern designation of sculptures as national treasures in the field of sculptures were received and how they have affected the discourse up to the present day, using monuments as material. Through these studies, we sought a way to understand Buddhist sculptures from a biohistorical perspective, including the history of known examples of sculptures in the pre-modern period, the process of their reaffirmation as cultural assets in the modern period, the process of their designation as national treasures, and their relationship with local communities up to the present day.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
仏像の制作時点や史的前提事情ではなく、制作後の消息を対象として、いくつかの題材に関し、いかなる過程をたどってきたのか(履歴に関する問い)、その過程で作品がどのように価値づけられ、語られてきたのか(言説に関する問い)、また、仏像に関する国宝指定制度が地域社会にどのように受けとめられたかについて調査と検討をおこなった。さらにそれらが、作品をめぐる現在の理解や語りにどのように作用してきたかを考える視点と方法を模索した。
