Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study builds on the findings of previous utamakura research, but attempts a new study of utamakura from a regional perspective. Specifically, it criticizes research that pinpoints a single location for a utamakura, and reinterprets utamakura to include fabricated landmarks, such as the utamakura "Sueno ma tsuyama" which can be found in five locations in the Tohoku region.
Firstly, in order to clarify the actual state of how utamakura became famous places in each of the Tohoku domains during the edo period, materials tracing this were collected and transcrib ed and deciphered.
In addition, travel diaries from the Tohoku region in the edo period were analyzed.
Specifically, they were mainly the travel diaries of Sugae Masumi and the diaries of Furukawa Koshoken's inspector's accompanying diary.
Based on this, the principal researcher and co researchers each presented a paper on the historical changes in utamakura and famous places from the Heian period to modern times, and their significance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、歌枕研究において従来研究対象としなかった地方の資料を取り入れ、後付けで作り出された歌枕も含めて、その考察対象を大きく広げた。さらには、地方における歌枕・和歌の意義を問うことで、都の和歌を中心に展開される和歌研究を相対化する。
東北各藩による歌枕の名所化の実態を明らかにすることは、それぞれの土地における埋もれた名所を再発見することである。地方における歴史的文化遺産を発掘・継承する社会的な意義を持つ。
