Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was the identifying the date of 68 TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi documents relating to the Japanese Invasion of Korea. To achieve the aim, I collected TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi documents and related documents, and analyzed them.
68 documents included 8 TOYOTOMI Hidetsugu documents, and 1 TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi document which was unrelated to the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Therefore, there were 59 TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi documents that this study should have targeted by. The results of analysis on these were as follows. I had identified the date of 50 documents. The date of remaining 9 documents have been limited to a few years.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

刊行中の『豊臣秀吉文書集』の編集では年代比定に困難が生じているとされる。朝鮮出兵期も対象とする『豊臣秀吉文書集五　天正十九年～文禄元年』は2019年1月31日付で刊行されたものの、今後も朝鮮出兵期を対象とする続刊が予定されている。本研究における成果はこうした豊臣秀吉文書の集成に貢献するところがある。
豊臣秀吉は社会的な関心がきわめて高い歴史上の人物である。よって上記のような貢献は社会的な意義を有している。
