Research of the Old Documents of Zen Buddhism Temple

禅宗寺院中的旧文献，很少有人从档案学的角度进行研究。我们的研究方法有两个特点。一是通过禅宗寺院的历史来研究档案学。二是对禅宗寺院旧文献资料的研究。后来的观点不是历史学的观点，而是属于自然科学领域的论文学的观点。我们计划这样的项目，得到了京都著名的禅宗寺庙大德寺的良好支持，因此我们有幸将旧大德寺文献带到了东京大学历史研究所的实验室。如果不具备这样的条件，我们就无法对课题进行双向的研究。在档案学和禅宗寺院史的研究领域，取得了以下成果。1、与室町幕府的关系在大德寺文献档案体系中具有重要意义。2、大德寺的创始人明町修穗和他的继任者哲人吉光在大德寺档案系统的形成中有很大的作用。当然是以大德寺的历史为中心，但我们也对六院和妙信寺进行了研究。在造纸学的研究领域，我们在显微镜下研究了纸织物的结构。造纸科学专家在我们的报告中提到了我们调查的多方面结果。论文的计算机图像处理是成功的。

The old documents stored in Zen Buddhism temple has scarcely investigated from the point of view of the archival science. Our method of research has two characteristics. First was to study the archival science through the history of Zen Buddhism temple. Second was to study the material paper of old documents of Zen Buddhism temple. Later was not a point of view of historical science, but of paper science that belongs to the field of natural science.Planning such project, we had a good support of Daitokuji, famous Zen Buddhism temple in Kyoto, so that we had fortunate conditions of bringing old Daitokuji documents to the laboratory of the Historiographical institute, University of Tokyo. If we have not such conditions, we cannot make a two-way research of our project.The medieval document of Daitokuji is the largest stock of the old document among the Zen Buddhism temple in Japan. In the research field of archival science and the history of Zen Buddhism temple, we had good results in below mentioned. 1, the relation with Muromachi Shognate has the essential meaning in the archival system of Daitokuji document. 2, the founder of Daitokuji, Shuho Myocho, and his successor, Tetto Gikou have a large roll in formation of the archival system of Daitokuji. Of course it centered to the history of Daitokuji, but we made a research on Rokuoin and Myosinji as well. In the research field of paper science, we investigated structure of paper fabrics on the microscope. Specialists of paper science in our report mention the manifold results of our investigation. The computer-based image processing of the paper was successful.
