本草学がつむぐ未来研究～博物館からみる分野横断的研究～
Recently, multidisciplinary studies are increasingly pursued since reflecting the criticism that too much concentration on specializing academic subjects has caused divisions on the field of study. As an example to promote multidisciplinary studies, I am paying attention to the study of Honzo-gaku (Asian past herbalism) which blossomed during the Edo period in Japan as well as in other Asian countries. It is because the achievements and life style of those who studied Honzo-gaku very much embody the characteristics of multidisciplinary studies. You can clearly see it if you look at the scholars of the Edo period. In this lecture, the speaker is going to introduce his case studies including the research result on the Iwaimi-Ginzan silver mine, and the research on analytical instruments which is mainly done with Italy’s Perugia University, whose use will lead to the study of cultural heritage.
