Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study analysed the characteristics of the historical artifacts left behind in various regions, focusing on folk tools (plough, winnowing basket) and shrine and temple sculptures, and the differences and similarities between the artifacts. It was clarified from an engineering viewpoint that wooden objects of unknown use excavated from archaeological sites in fact belonged to ploughs, and a mathematical evaluation method applicable to the form of the winnowing basket was presented by visualising the winnowing function using numerical fluid analysis . Furthermore, in investigating shrine and temple sculptures, a project to identify the creators of dragon sculptures that have been transferred to France was initiated, involving collaborators from Japan and abroad. It has been pointed out that the proposed method of style identification has the potential to be applied to the process of determining the morphological attribution of artificial objects in general, as typified by sculpture.
Free Research Field	意匠形態学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究において扱っている考古学的および民俗学的な有形の資料の形態に対する分析方法に，３D技術と構造力学をベースとした形態分析手法の提案と視点を提示している。民具，宮彫それぞれの研究遂行においては，民俗学，考古学，美学，デザイン学をそれぞれに専門とする複数の共同研究者と共に，実質的な文理融合のスタイルでの調査，形態データ取集，分析，知見の整理，研究発表を継続的に実施し，特に民俗学と考古学の研究者に対しては一定の学術的なインパクトを提供することはできたものと考えている。
