| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed the followings three facts. (1) Tanka gathering started to be held periodically at Kyusyu Ryoyousho, a public leprosarium, in 1924 and it spread to other public and private leprosaria in Japan. (2) In 1926, the patients of Kyusyu Ryoyousho published a Tanka and Haiku compilation and it got the readers outside the leprosarium. The Lepra Tanka boom reached its peak when Akashi Kaijin (a patient of Nagashima Aiseien, a national leprosarium in Okayama ) became a bestseller in 1939. (3）In 1932,the Queen Mother Teimei made a Tankia which encouraged people to help lepers in public Tanka gathering. Lepra patients expressed their gratitude to her by Tanka. Through these reciprocal transaction, outcasted lepers could become the subjects of Japan.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は第二次世界大戦の終戦までの日本で、ハンセン病と社会さらには天皇制国家との関係において短歌が重要な意味を持っていった過程を明らかにしたが、これは先行研究では検討されておらず学術的な意義を有する。具体的には、短歌をとおして、らい療養所の患者たちは療養所の外の人々とつながることが可能となった。他方、療養所の外の人々－そのなかには皇族や歌壇および文壇の人々も含まれる－は、短歌をとおして患者たちにメッセージを送ることができた。短歌は療養施設の内と外との一方通行的ではなく双方向的コミュニケーションを成立させる文芸の様式となったのである。
