| Outline of Research at the Start |
日本古代（主に奈良およびそれ以前～平安前期頃を広く指すこととする）における信仰の核としてムスヒ神あるいはムスビ神と呼ばれる神に注目し、この神が何故広くそして深く信仰されたのかを解き明かすために、この神にかかわる霊魂信仰の体系的な理解（例えば「神」と「魂」との関わりや違いなど）およびその具体相（例えば霊魂の形状など）について、主に文学的・民俗学的な見地から明らかにする。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines the ``belief in spirits'' held by the ancient Japanese, which is said to be at the basis of the establishment of literature, through ancient texts such as the Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, and Man'yoshu. In particular, since the gods Musuhi and Musubi, who were at the center of ancient beliefs, are thought to be the gods that govern the "requiem of souls," we will focus on the "requiem" aspect of the various aspects of soul worship, and mainly examine the Man'yoshu. As a result of considering the relationship between songs and ``requiem,'' we learned about the meaning of the universal action of ``listening,'' views on the other world, the power of ``requiem'' held by the literature of song itself, and changes in the concept of God. I was able to clarify about this.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
『萬葉集』は１２００年以上ものあいだ途絶えることなく読み継がれ、多くの研究も積み重ねられてきたが、特に霊魂信仰という側面に焦点をあてると、今なお解明しきれない課題が多く残されていることを明らかにした。また、そのうちのいくつかの問題点について、特定の歌を取り上げて論じたり『萬葉集』全体を見わたしたりと様々な研究手法を用いて具体的に論じた結果、日本文学そのものの意義について迫ってゆくための道筋を見出すことに近づいた。
