Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have studied of cross-border network with a focus on academics in the boundary
region of social hierarchy(“Hikuroudo”and“a common courtier”) in the middle and late early modern period. As a result, I was able to elucidate significance of their study and the actual situation of the organization.Specifically, I solved that they had played the important role in the literary world of Kyoto from the early stages of the Edo period.
