| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This research project is a social and institutional history of Heian Jingu and its related festival, Jidai Matsuri, from their creation in 1895 until the present. The project will be implemented mainly through archival research and addresses both material aspects and doctrinal/interpretative issues. At the metalevel of perception and signification, it will become clear that both the shrine and the festival are the product of continuous processes of (re)construction and (re)invention.

| 研究実績の概要 |
During the 2024 fiscal year, I focused on the early history of Heian Jingu and on the origins of Jidai Matsuri. I confirmed earlier findings about the late decision to transform what was initially meant to be a monument to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of Kyoto into a full-fledged Shinto shrine, while also gaining a better understanding of the sudden creation of Jidai Matsuri within the context of the Fourth National Industrial Exhibition and the establishment of Heian Jingu, the postponement of the original celebratory activities due to the illness of the Meiji Emperor, and the impact of a cholera epidemic.
Through archival research, I investigated (1) the reasons for establishing the monument/shrine and creating a festival; (2) the decision to construct replicas of Heian-era buildings, the planning and construction process, as well as the controversies surrounding the reconstructions; (3) the 35-year delay in adding a torii to mark the entrance of the shrine; and (4) Emperor Kanmu’s deification process in order to explain what the shrine/monument, its deity, and its festival signify for Heian Jingu’s creators, the citizens of Kyoto, and the wider Japanese population in the period between ca. 1890 and 1929.
I presented these results at an invited lecture at Naples University (Italy) and at a research meeting at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken, Kyoto).

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
Not only has my research progressed as planned, it has also led to the discovery of additional lines of research such as the indirect influence the creation of Heian Jingu had on initiatives for similar projects elsewhere in the country (e.g., the failed attempt to construct a Heijo Jingu) or on the preservation and reconstruction of other palaces (e.g., Shuri palace).

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I am currently writing up the results of the first year of my research into an article that discusses the origins of the Jidai Matsuri and the significant changes the festival underwent during the first few years that the festival was held.
In terms of new research, I plan investigate the changes to the shrine and the festival during the 1930s and early 1940s within the context of the enshrinement of Komei Tenno; and the celebrations of the 2600th anniversary of the Empire of Japan. I plan to focus on three related questions: (1) What motivated the extensive renovation and remodeling of the shrine in the late 1930s? (2) Which buildings were added and how did these additions alter people’s experience at and perception of the shrine and its festival? (3) Why was Komei deified and which impact did this have on the shrine’s perception?
I will present preliminary results at the AAS-in-Asia conference 2025.
