Studies on the Cultural History of Ki-i Peninsula

简而言之，研究的目的是从整体上把握纪伊半岛，明确它在日本历史中的地位。在考古学领域，我们从旧石器时代以来的各个时代获取了新的材料，界定了与东日本和西日本保持接触的文化，并首先对其进行了总结。在古代和中世纪时代，我们通过民俗学的研究，确定了他们社区的宗教服务的特征。对新发现的《大般若波罗蜜多经》(600卷)的研究，揭示了文化的传播和史实。在佛教各教派的传播上，我们可以了解各地的历史情况。在海上交通方面，出乎意料的是，留下的文献很少，但对平均昂贵的研究却公开了。我们正在研究奇伊藩通过对马藩的中介获得韩国东西的特殊关系，将会发现许多新的事实。关于渔业，由于东部地区还没有那么研究，所以我们主要是研究一下，真实情况还是比较清楚的。我们惊讶地发现有关林业的文件消失了，而且没有得到足够的结果。特别是在城堡的石墙上，我们提出了新的解释。在近代纺织品的生产方面，我们研究了松阪棉与纪州法兰绒的对比，并解释了双方的发展。我们通过美国空军的文件，研究了太平洋战争期间的真实情况，特别是对和歌山市的大规模空袭。在建筑方面，我们考察了大范围的神社、寺庙和房屋，可以清楚地展示该地区的地方色彩和历史变迁。我们计划出版一系列详细报道的书籍。

The aim of study is, in short, to catch the Ki-i Peninsula as a whole and to make it clear where it placed in the history of Japan.In the field of archaeology, we got new materials in every era since the Paleolithic era, defined the culture keeping in contact with East and West Japan, and first summarized them.In the field of the Ancient and the Medieval Ages, with the research of folklore, we are defining the characteristics of the religious service of their community. The research of newly found Mahaprajnaparamita-sutra(600 vol.)showed the cultural spread and historical facts. On the spread of many sects of Buddhism, we could understand the historical situations in every area.On the marine transportation, few documents are left unexpectedly, however, the study on the expensive average was made public. We are studying about special relations that the Ki-i-han got things Korean through the agency of the Tsushima-han, and will find many new facts. On the fishery, as the east side had not been so studied, we mainly researched it, and the real facts are fairly clear. We were surprised to find that the documents about the forestry had disappeared, and didn't get enough result. We offered a new interpretation especially on the castle stone walls.On producing textiles in modern times, we researched Matsusaka-cotton, as contrasted with Kishu-flannel, and explained the developments on both sides. We researched how things really stood during the Pacific War, especially the large-scale air raid on Wakayama city with the documents of U.S.Air Force.On architecture, we surveyed the shrines, the temples, and houses over a wide area, and could show clearly the local colour and historical transition in this district.We are planning to publish a series of books about detailed reports.
