    2021年度は研究代表者の幅田裕美がミュンヘン大学言語学Olav Hackstein教授と共同で、トカラ語のジャータカ・アヴァダーナ文献から、Bahubuddha-AvadanaおよびUnmadayanti-Jatakaのテキスト研究をまとめた。Bahubuddha-Avadanaは説一切有部の注釈書で引用が知られているがテキストが失われていた仏陀の過去世物語で、仏陀が過去世において女性として生まれていたという説話がトカラ語で伝承されていたことを明らかにした。Unmadayanti-JatakaについてはAryasuraのJatakamalaの正確な逐語訳であることを分析した。Puniyavanta-Jatakaについては原作者問題に新たな光をあて、伝説的な仏教詩人であり経量部の祖とされるKumaralataが著者である可能性を指摘した。 研究分担者の檜山智美はクチャの説一切有部系の石窟寺院に描かれたアヴァダーナ壁画の主題と関連文献について分析し、著書 Traces of the Sarvastivadins in the Buddhist Monasteries of Kucha の第4章としてまとめた。その結果、クチャの説一切有部系の説話美術は早期と後期で伝承の系統が異なること、また早期の石窟群の壁画は Buddhacarita, Kalpanaamanditikaa, Aryasura版Jatakamalaなどといった梵語仏教説話文学との関連が深いという観察が得られた。 Visvantara-Jatakaは新たな断片を発見比定した荻原裕敏博士が研究協力者としてプロジェクトに参加し、テキストの読みと解釈をまとめた。研究成果は最終的な成果刊行物に収録する予定である。

    本年度は、前年度までに祖型を完成させた共著"Traces of the Sarvastivadins in the Buddhist Monasteries of Kucha"（Giuseppe Vignato / Satomi Hiyama, with Appendices by Petra Kieffer-Puelz and Yoko Taniguchi）の原稿を、国内外の研究者からのフィードバックを元に修正・校正することに注力し、2022年1月に実際に刊行することが出来た。 本著では、考古学と美術史の方法論を組み合わせることにより、クチャの説一切有部系の石窟寺院を四分期に分類した。中でも主流であった二分期を仮に「A伝統」「B伝統」と呼び、それぞれの伽藍配置や荘厳の図像内容、尊像配置と儀礼の関係などの特徴を分析した。結果、前者はクチャ地域の中でもより早期の説一切有部教団の文化、後者はより後期の文化を反映しており、それぞれが異なる系統の戒律に基づいた僧団生活を送り、また異なる説話伝承を保持していたという可能性を提示した。この研究成果は、同一地域の説一切有部教団にも多様性が存在したことを示すと同時に、中央アジアの有部教団の発展の様相を考古学的遺構に基づいて復元的に分析するという新たな研究アプローチも提起するものである。また、石窟寺院址の分期ごとの相対年代も提示するものであるため、各分期の壁画に特有の図像モチーフや絵画材料を当該地域の歴史的背景と関連付けて、更に応用的な研究を行うための基礎ともなる。そのため、本研究の実績は、説一切有部系の仏教文化や西域仏教美術史分野の今後の研究に寄与する有意義な成果であると言えよう。

    For the Otani Expedition, I checked the data bases (DB) of the Lushun Museum Collection and the Ryukoku University Library and combined them into a unified DB. For the German Expedition, I integrated the DB of the materials held in three institutions in Berlin and investigated materials held in Istanbul University Library as well as the Jojun Deguchi Collection in Japan. To further this research, I invited a British Library researcher from the International Dunhuang Project as well as the director of the Lushun Museum for academic lectures at our university. In November 2017, I participated in a special event marking the 100th anniversary of the Lushun Museum and presented the results of this research at an international conference in Dalian City. In the final research year, based on the combined DB, I published “A Catalogue of Chinese Buddhist Fragments Collected by Otani and the German Turfan Expedition” including about 22,961 materials identified in Taisho Tripitaka.

    The Aim of this study is to clarify the materials and techniques of Kizil mural paintings using high definition digital images and non-destructive measurement method in principle. This research study was executed in collaboration based on the agreement with Qiuci Institute ( representative: Zhao Li) and Tokyo University of Arts ( representative: Ichiro Sato). Investigated caves were #69, 167 and 224 caves. By means of of high definition digital images and X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, we could figure out the regularity of architectural program of caves, multilayer structure system composed of support, ground,underpainting, underpainting, overpainting, the mural painting process including incisione i.e. color scheme etc. We confirmed several metallic foils and arsenic pigment, indigo and lac resin. Some pigments were suggested the possibility of converted artficial pigments. The removed fragments from cave 224 were identified the original place of 13 pieces.
