Research Abstract	In order to restore the original text of Meigetsuki that Fuji-wara no Sadaie wrote, I exhaustively checked lists of auctioned antiques since the Meiji Period, which have survived in a large quantity across various areas in Japan. By collecting sources associated with Sadaie such as fragmentary pieces of the origi-nal of his journal, I added new findings and revised a catalogue of Meigetsuki origi-nal texts. I also published newly discovered original parts of his journal in a prin-ted form. In addition, I investigated the documents owned by Yomei Bunko (Yomei Arc-hives), which appeared on the reverse side of the paper on which Meigetsuki original was written. I included the photographs of these documents here as part of my resea-rch results.
