NATIONWIDE COLLECTION of the FOUNDING MMMIRRORS DATA

本研究旨在收集我国遗址中出土的9世纪以后至中世纪时期的日本镜子资料，分析日本镜子在精神文化中的地位以及日本镜子类型的变迁。从1000多处遗址中收集到1700多面日本镜的挖掘资料。近年来，随着墓葬文化遗产调查的增加，在各地发现了日本镜子，但目前还没有收集这些镜子的研究。因此，从如下的观点来完成这个收集性的研究意义是很大的。首先，此次研究除了有年表的镜子外，还包括了与陶器等文物一起出土的日本镜子。因此，可以尝试日本镜子模式的转变和区域研究的加强。因此，本课题的研究成为对反射镜的完善、发展和改造的基础性研究。其次，通过对发掘镜的遗存情况、发掘情况等方面的分析，来厘清“镜”在古代和中世纪精神文化中的地位。日本的镜子是最具精神性的遗物之一。它是阅读日本宗教和信仰历史的重要材料。此外，在我国的金属工艺中，镜子具有类似剑的特性和物理优势。但这方面的研究还不够。本研究阐明了日本反光镜背面的设计和反光镜类型的转变。对宗教信教史和金属工艺史等进行跨学科的研究，有可能成为仪式考古学的重要材料。

This research aims to collect the data of Japanese mirrors found from ruins in our country-produced with from ancient times after the ninth century to the Middle Ages-, and analyzes about the position of the Japanese mirrors in the spiritual culture and the transition of type of Japanese mirrors. Accumulated data of excavation Japanese mirrors arrived at 1,700 or more from about 1,000 ruins.There is no research to which they are collected yet though Japanese mirrors has been detected from various places as the burial cultural asset investigation in recent years increases. So the meaning to complete this collected research from the viewpoint shown as follows is large.First, this research is including Japanese mirrors excavated with the relic such as earthenware besides the ones that has the chronogram. As a result, the transition of the model of Japanese mirrors and the enhancement of the research on the region can be attempted. So this research becomes a basic research to the completion, development, and the transformation of the mirrors.Secondarily, the position of "Mirror" in the spiritual culture in ancient times and the Middle Ages can be clarified by the analyses of the remainder condition and the excavation situation etc. of the excavation mirror. Japanese mirrors are one of most spiritual relic. it is the important material that reads a history of the religion and belief in Japan. Moreover, the mirror has the character and the physical superiority similar to swords in a metallic craft in our country. But It is not researched enough still. This research clarify the design of the back side of Japanese mirrors and the transition of type of mirrors.
