| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Irosetsuden, a book written in classical Chinese, is a separate volume of Kyuyo that is a comprehensive and chronicled history of Ryukyu. The two books were edited by the middle of the 18th century. This study has three parts. Part one investigated samples of used papers, old newspapers, and documents obtained from the Irosetsuden book in Iha Fuyu collection No. 14 and Miyaradunchi collection No. 26 to examine plants as materials and features of book binding. Results introduce an objective approach to study Ryukyuan historical materials. Part two collated and emended Syo-ke document No. 1251 by comparing with other texts. Part three examined Irosetsuden’s content by focusing on tales regarding the historical events or people of ancient Ryukyu. Results suggest that these historical tales include subjects of virtue or ethics expected of people by the ruler of the 18th century. This finding is important to understand this book on the context and historical significance.
