| 研究実績の概要 |
During this year I studied the documentation deposited at Parishes in Lisbon, Ajuda, Alcantara, Alto do Pina, Ameixoeira, Anjos, Asilo de Campolide, Beato, Benfica, Campo Grande, Campolide, Carnide,Castelo, Charneca.
In these archives I researched the Marriage registration of the Asian emigrants: gender, age, place of origin, year of marriage registration; marriage with Japanese or mixed marriage with foreigners. Simultaneously I start reconstructing the size of the Asian communities in Portugal.
Part of the results where published in the book:
Lucio de Sousa, The Portuguese Trade in Early Modern Japan (Brill, 2019)

理由
During the current period of research, I would wish to be able to answer the following questions:
who were the Japanese living in Europe and the Americas (their place of origin, how they arrived in Europe and the Americas, their social status / professions);
how were their family structures (were marriages held between Japanese or were they mixed marriages, did they have offspring), and how were the social networks in which they circulated.
I am using all that information to be part of a future data-base on Asian Diasporas during the 16th and 17th centuries.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I plan to analyze many unknown parish records in many cities in several countries. Mainly because of the privileged trade relationship that existed between Japan and the Iberian monarchies in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, these records (parish records) are particularly important, as they contain a lot of information about all the inhabitants, regardless of their country of origin. In this research, I will use unpublished manuscripts.
I also intend to study the Asian and Japanese diaspora in the Iberian territories in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by making use of two scientific approaches, the first one is of a global nature and the second one is of a local nature.
