1 Asakawa s Research Trips in the Kansai Area July 1918 to January 1919 Yukimi MASUI It is known that Kan ichi Asakawa encountered documents of the Iriki-in family during his sabbatical years from 1917 to 1919 in Japan. This enabled him to complete his internationally acclaimed work, The Documents of Iriki, published in 1929 by Yale University Press. In this paper, however, I would like to focus on his field trips in the Kansai area during the second year of his stay. He collected a great number of documents of the domains of Todaiji temple, or the church of Todaiji as Asakawa called it. Based on his fieldwork, I would like to reveal how Asakawa established his theories of feudalism as a comparative historian of Japan and Europe. I analyze one particular paper, The Early SHO and the Early Manor 1929, a distinguished example of his research. It is clear that the Historiographical Institute of the Associate Professor of American Studies, Faculty of International Studies, Keiai University. 87

2 University of Tokyo especially Mikami Sanji and Kuroita Katsumi played an important role in furthering Asakawa s research. Their previous work and generous support helped Asakawa to contribute worldwide. Asakawa not only provided but also interpreted valuable documents for the use of international historians. As the main sources of this study, I draw on the Asakawa Papers of the Manuscript Library of Yale University, but I would like to note that the Todaiji Diary, which shows Asakawa s visit, appears in this paper for the first time. Since the history of Kan ichi Asakawa studies is relatively new, we may encounter other unrevealed documents. I believe that they will further enrich Asakawa studies.
