Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

戦後七十年以上たった現在、風化しそうになった作家火野葦平の自筆の『従軍手帖』や陸軍中将田中信男の戦争『日誌』を用いた研究をおこなった。インパール作戦の実態や、広東作戦の実態を正確に把握するとともに、一見戦争加担者とされている陸軍中将なども、戦時中には、陸軍大本営の方針や戦争批判をおこなっていたことが分かった。戦争の研究は、既知の見解を覆すこともあり、大変意義があると考えられる。社会的に常識とされている通念を打開することもでき、重要な研究成果が生まれた。さらに、火野葦平とフォークロアの研究は、日本や中国の民話、伝承からの継承を明らかにし、東アジアの伝統文化と近代の問題を深めることができた。
