早稲田大学演劇博物館 演劇映像学連携研究拠点

In 2020, we embarked on “encouragement research,” wherein we conduct collaborative research with young scholars at the Theatre Museum. In 2025, four projects were adopted, and a variety of research was conducted.

Encouragement Research Project

1. Research on Materials Related to Osanai Kaoru (Kumagai Tomoko)
2. Research on the Genealogy of Okinawa-mono Theater: Referring to Social Background and Narrative Works of Other Genres (Kondo Tsugumi)
3. Cataloging Rare Materials on Chinese Performing Arts in the Theatre Museum Collection (Continued) (Li Jiaqiao)
4. Korean Cinema and Shinpa Sensibility in the Colonial Period: A Comparison with Japanese Cinema(Ku Mina)
