| Research Abstract |
In this study, I focused on the activities of middle and lower ranking officials who engaged in practical operations to run the court while attempting to provide a fuller understanding of the “medieval period.” I specifically investigated different aspects such as personnel organizations, changes in the economic foundation, and the conveyance of information on state affairs, as well as the relationship between the court and the bakufu.I also collected and introduced courtier journals of which scholars have failed to fully utilize. I believe that this study is useful not only for researchers who are interested in the court, but it also benefits different fields such as medieval Japanese history,Japanese literature, and art history.
