Syudies on Mineralogy and Mineral Identification in Edo-Period Through Siebold Mineral Collection

西波特矿物收藏品是日本江户时代最重要的也是唯一的系统矿物收藏品，收藏于莱顿自然历史博物馆。然而，对西博尔德矿物收藏的描述从未进行过。在莱顿自然历史博物馆的合作下，我们制作了一份收藏品目录，并拍摄了所有样品的照片。结合这些数据库工作，我们开始分析西博尔德关于日本矿物的文件，这些文件最初属于德国的日本协会。这些文件于1934年提供给日本研究人员，以促进日本的Siebold研究。这些文件的影印件存放在丰文库。我们在丰文光的帮助下获得了这些资料，并翻译了《日本矿物学现状》的一部分。西博尔德研究的世纪”，并在同一时间的书机智的标题“21。西博尔德的世纪”出版。

Siebolt Mineral collection which is stored in the Museum of Natural History Leiden is the most important and only one systematic Japanese mineral collection in Edo-Period. However, the description of the Siebold Mineral Collection has not been carried out ever. With the cooperation of the Museum of Natural History Leiden, we made a catalogue of the collection and took the photographs of all the samples. Together with those database works, we began to analyze the Sieboldt's documents on the Japanese minerals, which belonged originally to the Japan Society in Germany. Those documents were supplied to the Japanese researchers in 1934 to promote Siebold studies in Japan. The photocopy of the documents was stored in Toyo-Bunko. We obtained the documents with courtesy of Toyo-Bunko and translated a part of "Japanese present condition of mineralogy".The results of our studies were presented by the special exhibition with the title of "21. Century of Sieboldt Studies" and at the same time the book wit the title of "21. Century of Sieboldt" was published.
