My research includes an exploration of the actual state of Kabuki performances at the time, based on internal theater documents, and a survey study of Kabuki banzuke (playbills), which were published in accordance with the performances. The results of my research on Kabuki banzuke were reflected in the databases of the institutions that held the materials. In addition, I extracted information on the casts of Kabuki plays at the end of the Tokugawa period from Kabuki performance records, and constructed a database of Kabuki performance chronology according to the casts. Furthermore, I published some of my research results as A History of Information Culture in Edo Kabuki (2021) from Kyuko Shoin.

We published the document collection of these chronicles in February 2017. By introducing them we assisted the preparing of the Kabuki research environment, and revealed the cultural background of Edo era to the production of such materials.

As a result of the findings of this research, academic papers were presented at the Geinoshi Kenkyuukai. Enquiries into the relationship between kabuki show business and publications have resulted in one research paper explores the connection between kabuki dramatists and the media, and another paper investigates the kabuki actor print artist Utagawa Kunisada. Research results have led to the publication of an academic paper about the Kabuki nendaiki during the Edo period. Furthermore, data contains several kabuki chronicles, which were recorded in the early modern period, has been collated and published in one volume. In addition to this, the research group I participated in has produced a digital archive and database of banzuke and a chronological kabuki performance database which is easy to navigate and can be searched by cast member for each performance.

We projected publishing transcription of the third part of Yakusha Hyobanki from 1773 to 1804, and have almost completed the transcription and started preparation to publish. Also, we have developed the system of comprehensive digital archives of Yakusha Hyobanki in order to open them to the public and are improving the accuracy of data.

V&A has a huge collection of Ukiyo-e including drawing and prints. They has over 38,000. National Museum of Scotland (NMS) in Edinburg has also a lot of Ukiyo-e which similar collection on the contents. During 1860 to 1880, there was a kind of boom for Japanese culture, called Japanisme, from the international Exposition at London. England bought a huge batch of Ukiyoe at once, around 43,000 sheets, which were not arranged at all. And around 5,000 prints were presented to NMS after that. In this project, we digitized every Ukiyo-e prints both V&A and NMS, then brought back to Japan. We constructed a database system for the huge collection, and made the catalog data. These prints are almost published in the end of Edo period, they are so important to study on the period of the end of Edo. We can collect and get together two huge collection by digital technologies. Some items had been separated before 140 years. With this digital archiving activities, we can match up and grouping them. It means we can recognize the situation of over 120 years ago like a time capsule. We found that these collections are the best sample to make clear the circumstance of Ukiyo-e distribution at the time of 120 years age. Regarding the catalog, we added the Romanized text by using special program.
