| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to search into aspects of the trade and circulation in Southwest Japan (South-West Islands, Kyusyu) from the 12fth century to the 14th century, the first half of middle ages, by field works of strongholds.
I instituted field works five times in three years. The destinations are area of lower Manose river, east half of Osumi peninsula, Amami islands(Kagoshima prefecture), Miyakonojo City(Miyazaki prefecture), Fukuoka City, Futtsu City (Fukuoka prefecture), Nagasaki City, Shimabara peninsula, Matsuura City (Nagasaki prefecture) and Shimonoseki City (Yamaguchi prefecture) etc.. Anywhere, I was able to get valuable information from staffs of Board of Education or museum curators, for example excavation reports, tradition, historical materials.
I had good results to area studies of lower Manose river(Kagoshima prefecture) and seats of Tobo, (唐坊・唐房, Chinatown in middle ages). But much assignments are remained, especially a study of the South-West Islands (Satsunan Islands, Amami Islands, Okinawa Islands).
On the other hand, my interest moved to comparison with Southwest Japan and Northeastern Japan (Tohoku region, Hokkaido). At this point, I was able to give satisfactory result.
As a result, I delivered six articles, and I got an opportunity of presentation abroad. I made a bibliography of trading strongholds in medieval South Kyusyu.
I build a website of this study. I would like to make use of this website.
