| Research Abstract |
1) We investigated on stamped ancient documents owned by some temples, libraries and museums. And we recorded their datails, and collected photographes. We almost finished the investigation on Todaiji-temple, Toji-temple and Eizanji-temple documents.
2) We studied institutions about ancient official stamps enacted in Taiho-Rituryo (****) and the other laws. As the result, we made it clear that Naiin (** ; the stamp of King) was used for orders to local govemment offices, and that Gein (** ; the stamp of Cabinet) was used for copies of them. And we explained that the shape of Naiin was widely informed to local govemment offices in 701.
3) We collected the shape of Kokuins (** ; the stamps of local govemment offices) and studied changes on them. As the result, we made it clear that the Kokuins used in Tenpyo Period (729-749) was casted in 704 as a work to decide characters of local govements' name, and that the recasting of Kokuins was started in the middle of 8th century.
4) We studied the form of Gein-syoin (**** ; stamping Gain) with manuscripts on Cabinet politics. As the result, we explained that the origin of Gein-syoin was Kanin (** ; supervision of stamps) enacted in Rituryo, and that Gein-syoin was carried out until 10th century in the Cabinet office.
5) We collected the shape of Soins (** ; the stamps for granary) , explain the change of Yamato Soin (****) , and made it clear that Soins were used by Zuryoes (** ; govemors) illegally staying in Kyoto.
