| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Taoism didn't enter Japan formally. But Taoism-like idea is often admitted by the thought of longevity, fairyland and divination in medieval Japanese culture. We tried to do the following thing clearly. Are those the one brought to ancient Japan? Or are those the one transmitted to medieval Japan for the first time? So we picked a Taoism-like element out from material about the several Performing arts formed from the Middle Ages to the Edo Period.
As a result, we could get the following perspective. In other words, medieval entertainment world can't take a seen Taoism-like element over from ancient society.
Those are as a result of the people's exchange which became frequent in the Middle Ages.
