A. Researches into Buddhism : We made collections and arrangements of different versions of"Tan'isho", and also of various commentaries on it before Early Modern Period. Then we criticized its text, revised it, annotated it, and analysed it from a viewpoint of the history of ethical thoughts. We made arrangements of literatures on the studies of Shinran. We reexamined intellectual pedigrees of recluses, and then considered their significances in the history of ethical thoughts. We published three articles and one book on these subjects.B. Researches into Confucianism : We made historical inquiries into the details of the importation of Confucianism in ancient Japan and of the formation of philosophical studies on it. We made collections and arrangements of basic materials on the Ansai school. Up to now, studies on them have been very behind among Early Modern Period Confucianism researches. We published one article on these subjects.C. Researches into Shinto : We critically examined the ORIGUCHI Shinobu's conception of "Marebito", and next we considered "kami" in ancient Japan from a viewpoint of the history of ethical thoughts. We made inquires into the "Yamatohimeno Mikoto Seiki", one of the five Shinto scriptures. We deciphered and annotated texts of KAMO Norikiyo who was a Shintoist in Early Modern Period. We made basic research on his works and historical facts which were unknown to us until now. We published three articles including "Notes on Yamatohimeno Mikoto Seiki" and "Materials related to KAMO Norikiyo".
