| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I examined the significance of Metallikon in art history by empirically examining the process of its introduction into modern Japanese art, using both artworks and materials, and the subsequent development of the technology. Although Metallikon was only used for a short period, mainly from the 1920s to the 1930s, it was favored by some enterprising artists, especially as a coating technique for three-dimensional objects (sculptures and crafts), and the term "metallikon art" was born.This research has made clear that his works were accepted by a wide range of people in the art world in a broad sense, including not only those associated with the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, such as Asakura Fumio, Watanabe Takeo, and Suzuki Kiyoshi, but also creators such as Hanai Tanrei and Goto Kuwagoro, who had a background in plastering techniques.

本研究の目的は、表面処理法の一つであったメタリコンが芸術分野における新技術と新素材として導入・受容されていく経緯を、実際に制作された作品と残された関連資料による裏付けを行いながら解明し、メタリコンを美術史上に意義づけた。近代日本のメタリコンの大きな特徴は、まず芸術作品の装飾手段として受容されたことである。代表作例として、朝倉文夫《猫》（1922年）、渡辺長男《明治天皇像》(1924年ごろか）、花井探嶺《仁王像》(1936年)、後藤鍬五郎《道徳観音》（1936年）などが判明した。このほかにも、工芸作品や絵画作品にも応用例があることもわかった。
