Outline of Final Research Achievements	Rofu Miki has been said that his creative activities were by the end of Taisho era: thereafter he has been largely forgotten in the history of modern literature with low evaluation. One of the factors was the scarcity of his works published after the 15th year of Taisho. The aim of our research was to reevaluate Rofu Miki with his unpublished works and materials. We have collected many unpublished works buried in the long-lost local newspaper “Yamazaki Shinbun” (1915-1939), specifically tanka, haiku, essays, travelogues, related handwritten notes, drafts, and letters. We also discovered handwritten letters revealing Miki’s views on Takuboku Ishikawa, his interactions with Kenji Miyazawa, and essays Torapisuto no Kurisumasu “Christmas at the Trappist Monastery” from his time at the Trappist monastery. We digitized them all for preservation, organization, and public access.
Free Research Field	日本近代文学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	三木露風に関する資料は、たつの市の霞城館と三鷹市に分散して寄託されている。露風が寄稿した『山崎新聞』は、創刊者の親族と創刊地の宍粟市立図書館に分散されて全発行号の閲覧は不可能な状態であった。その資料をデジタル保存して体系的に分類し分析研究したことに学問的意義がある。また露風の未公開作品、宮沢賢治や石川啄木に関する新資料発見により新たな視点による研究を提起した。社会的意義としては、協力をいただいた宍粟市、たつの市において、研究成果をシンポジウムや講演会で報告した。また新資料発見の露風と宮沢賢治の交流はNHK神戸や神戸新聞、岩手日報で、露風の石川啄木観は中日新聞で紹介されて露風研究が普及した。
