Outline of Final Research Achievements

I researched the notation of handwriting manuscripts and books of some works of Soseki Natsume. Notation varies according to a book with the same work. Soseki was not particular about notation of his work all the time. In Japan, a reader may mind the notation of the novel than the novelist who wrote the novel. But the modern Japanese permits that a publishing company changes the difficult kanji to the hiragana letter. Postwar national language policy in Japan influences this. Anyway, the Japanese notation which it is complicated,and is full of variety is a Japanese characteristic not to be seen in other languages.
