As for me, Japanese ancient history studies mainly on the Nara and Heian era concerned mainly on diplomacy, trade or foreign consciousness above all. In late years I examine the noble society and Kokufu Bunka in the mid-Heian period culture recently. Japanese ancient history study of Hiroshima University is a pillar having one theory of the State of the Heian era. Mainly on the analysis of the diary which a noble of the Heian era left, as for "the dynasty theory of the State to draw," a characteristic shows the history elephant which there is for original problem interest. In addition to those studies, I am thinking about the area culture. |
