Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been well known that Catholic education in 19 century in Japan was prepared by French missionaries and French religious congregations. However, most of those missionaries come to Japan not directly from France but from some Asian countries. They had experienced of educational/social welfare activities with the people in some Asian countries before they came to Japan. In this research, historical documents and materials concerning Catholic education by French religious congregations in Japan, which were lost because of natural disasters and war, were collected from the archives in France and Asian countries in order to have a whole survey of Catholic education in this period. Also the database of those materials was constructed and it leads to a possibility of international collaborative research in Asian countries on this field.
