Accumulated data of excavation Japanese mirrors arrived at 1,700 or more from about 1,000 ruins.

As a result, the transition of the model of Japanese mirrors and the enhancement of the research on the region can be attempted. So this research becomes a basic research to the completion, development, and the transformation of the mirrors.
Secondarily, the position of "Mirror" in the spiritual culture in ancient times and the Middle Ages can be clarified by the analyses of the remainder condition and the excavation situation etc. of the excavation mirror. Japanese mirrors are one of most spiritual relic. it is the important material that reads a history of the religion and belief in Japan. Moreover, the mirror has the character and the physical superiority similar to swords in a metallic craft in our country. But It is not researched enough still.
