Studies on expressions of force in the ancient and medieval periods of Japan : Focusing on the relationship between history and tradition.

为了克服日本战争编年史不再被理解为经典文学的现状，笔者提出了一个新的问题，即战争是如何被叙述的，不仅引入了文学研究的方法，而且引入了历史研究的方法以及地方口述传统的研究。由此，我获得了以下两个成果，其中之一是发现了对使用武力的认识从刑法的执行到战斗行为有一个阶段性的转变。换句话说，一个历史事件是作为一个法律的行动，但它往往是叙述作为一个结果，在文学表达在随后的时期。中一发现了一个事实，即在江户时代早期（世纪中期），在主要城市和地方城市的历史编纂项目引发了战争编年史领域的动态运动。在主要城市周围，新的战争文学和表演艺术作品在被小说装饰的同时也被创造出来。另一方面，几乎以战纪形式出现的战争编年史在地方上被接受和流传。

In order to overcome the current situation that Japanese war chronicles are no longer understood as classical literature, I set up a new question, how wars were narrated through introduction of not only the method of literary research but also the methods of historical study as well as study on local oral tradition. As a result, I obtained two achievements below.One of them was that I discovered there was a stage of recognition change about use of force from enforcement of criminal laws to act of combat. In other words, a historical event was done as a legal action but it tended to be narrated as a result of a combat in the literary expression in the subsequent periods. Secondary I discovered a fact that there were dynamic movements in the field of war chronicles triggered by the compilation project of histories in the early Edo era (mid-17th century) in major and local cities. Around the major cities, new war literatures and performing art works were created while they were decorated by fictions. On the other hand, war chronicles almost in the form of war records were accepted and passed on in the local areas.
