The purpose of this research project is to examine how the social aspect at that time is reflected in the illustrations of Kana-zoshi. To reveal that point, the illustrations in Oozaka-monogatari (The tale of Oozaka), Shimabara-ki, Houjyo-Godaiki, and others were investigated in this project. Consequently, we have obtained the following two results. The first one is that the illustrations differ depending on the publication time. The second one is that the illustrations reflect the preferences of readers of Edo and Kamigata, respectively. As research outcomes from this KAKENHI project, we have published four articles in KINSEISHOKIBUNGEI, 32, 33, 34, and 35. Furthermore, we will publish the academic book on the illustrations in the Kana-zoshi in autumn, 2019.
