| Outline of Research at the Start |
20世紀前半の日系移民の俳句、川柳、短歌等の短詩型文学による文芸活動はハワイ、カリフォルニア、ブラジルなど各地で見られ、当時の生活の様子を計り知るうえで貴重な資料である。しかし、カナダにおける同研究はいまだ緒に就いた状況に等しい。そこで、本研究は、同センターが所蔵する未整理の短詩型文学作品をデータベース化するとともに、文学的・文化史的視点からかれらのトランスナショナルなアイデンティティを検討する。

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During the 2023 research year, we were able to make a lot of progress in our study of Canadian haiku networks, epsecially during the internment years, 1942 - 46. By conuslting online records of the Tairiku Nippo Newspaper, we were able to find the identities of many of the haiku poets, the central figures of the haiku groups and the haiku competitions. Much of this informtation was unknown to us before. This new information has helped to show the connections between the different haiku groups in British Columbia. We have used the information for articles that we are submitting to Sophia University's Canadian Studies journal, as well as journals at Suzuka University and Tokoha University. Last, an article has been submitted to the B.C. History Jounral, for publication in Fall, 2024.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Over the past year we have had access to online records of the Tairiku Nippo newspaper. This was one of the two main Japanese language newspapers published in Vancouver, British Columbia between the period of around 1900 - 1942. This information has helped us a great deal. We have also been able to conduct more interviews with descendants of some of the Canadian Nikkei haiku writers. We will continue with interviews and also archives research at the National Nikkei Cultural Center in Burnaby, Canada this summer, between September 4 - September 12th. This will provide us with enough information to complete the first part of our project.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
After conduction further research at the National Nikkei Culture Center Archives in Burnaby, British Columbia, we will also conduct interviews with some descendants of some well known Canadian Nikkei haiku poets. We will also travel fir the first time to Vernon, B.C. for the first time to look at documents in the Lake Country Museum. This museum has a good collection of material realted to Denbei Kobayashi and his family. Denbei was one of the central figures amongst 20th century Nikkei haiku writers. We also hope to visit his home and the area around his home to get a better understanding of the environment in which he lived.
