Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, images were taken of all 1116 postcards and other materials belonging to Iwaya Sazanami (hereinafter referred to as "Sazanami"), an influential figure in Japanese literature, culture, and education, and they were classified by sender, recipient, etc. The contents were converted into data and read. The results confirmed that Sazanami's footprints extended overseas, and that he interacted with a wide range of people, not only in the field of children's literature and culture, but also in modern literature, education, politics, and economics. In addition, we were able to examine the spread of postcard culture.
Free Research Field	児童文学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	明治期から大正期にかけて、巖谷小波（以下、小波とする）の動向やネットワーク状況の一端が明らかになり、これまで論じられていた以上に、いかに小波が児童文学、児童文化、近代文学、教育などに影響力があったかということが明らかになった。特に、小波の家族観、小波がドイツで得た知己、小波の口演童話などの児童文化を全国に広げる活動の様子、俳句や絵葉書を介したネットワークの様態の一端が明らかになった。
