| Research Abstract |
This project focused on data collection and field research across Japan to collect and confirm traditions and legends transmitted about Itsukushima. The following results were achieved: 1) Confirmation of archeological remains connected to rituals, religion and livelihood from the Paeolithic to the Heian Period, 2) Creation of a table of contexts for the scripture collection "Obunko" and explanation of the donations made during the establishment of this collection, 3) Collection of information about Itsukushima Shrine, e.g. changes in the structure of shrine buildings from the Sengoku to the Edo Period or the beginnings of policies to separate Shintoism and Buddhism in the Edo Period, 4) Verification, of the emergence of Itsukushima as an international tourist destination in modern times. This research has laid the groundwork for further integrated research on world heritage Itsukushima.
