Japan, Germany and Russia at the Beginning of 19-th Century

本研究的目的是通过考察“娜杰日达”周围的各种文化科学现象，全面把握19世纪初日、德国、俄三国的文化交流。在1999年，我们与阿拉斯加大学的Moesner教授举行了一次阅读关于这个项目的研究论文的会议，并在札幌、函馆和长崎的图书馆和博物馆收集了许多关于Krusenstern、Tilesius、Langsdorf和Rezanov的资料。2000年，我们在这些材料和几次会议上举办了一次国际文化研讨会“作为Landeskunde的旅行素描”，在会上，我们三位调查员和三位外国学者从自己的角度阅读了关于这一主题的报告。这次研讨会取得了很好的成果。二月间，桑德曼前往德国和瑞士，在欧洲搜集资料，并与欧洲学者交换意见和信息。这也产生了极好的结果。我们现在正准备发表我们的论文。

The purpose of our research is to grasp comprehensively the cultural exchange among Japan, Germany and Russia at the beginning of 19-th century by examining various cultural and scientific phenomena aroud "Nadezhda". In 1999 we held a meeting for reading research papers on this project with professor Moesner of the University Alaska and collected many materials about Krusenstern, Tilesius, Langsdorf and Rezanov at the libraries and museums in Sapporo, Hakodate and Nagasaki. In 2000 on such materials and several meetings we held an international cultural symposium "Travelsketches as Landeskunde" at which we three investigators and three foreign scholars read reports on this theme from their own points of view. This symposium produced excellent results. In February F.Sondermann went to Germany and Switzerland to collect materials in Europe and exchange views and information with European scholars. This, too, produced excellent results. We are, now, preparing ourselves for the publishing of our papers.
