Outline of Final Research Achievements

At the beginning time, I planned to digital cataloging only for five institutions. However, I have finished for nine countries and thirty institutions. Most part of collections have been digitized completely, and been finished cataloging. These image data and catalogue data have been uploaded to "the ARC's Ukiyo-e Portal Database" and "the ARC's Rare Book Portal Database". The part of materials which have the permission of open to the public through the internet, have been opened to the public through the ARC's portal database. Additionally, the institutes which have an online database use the digital images for their own database. The countries are: Czech Republic, Greece, Germany, Italy, UK, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherland, Ireland.
