" Syakuhati Kenkyukai" was established and began its activities in 1983; the members at that starting point were TUKITANI Tuneko (chair), SIMURA Satosi, SEYAMA Toru, OKADA (TATSUMI) Yoko and NOMOTO Mariko. Soon after its foundation, adding five members listed avove, the group welcomed several professors/researches as guest speakers to the meeting. Among them: MABUCHI Usaburo, Silvain GUIGNARD, OHIGASHI Junko.
Since 1988, Riley LEE of the University of Sydney, receiving the grants from the Japan Foundation for the studies and research in Japan of his Ph D. thesis, has joined the group. Aa being in charge of Riley's instructor, professor YAMAGUTI Osamu of Osaka University kindly supported us, and at the same time KATO Yuki and YUKINO Tomoko also became the members of our Kenkyukai. This means the birth of the project, namely "internationalization of the syakuhati studies", in which we are extremely interested.
The importance of the studies in this field inevitably drew attentions from the government and led it admit to grant the subvention, during the financial term 1998-1991, to TUKITANI as the representative of the project. The report of the part of this project is already published.
The syakuhati studies significantly deal both with various different issues and many difficult problems. It would be our great pleasure if Syakuhati Kenkyukai could contribute to the development for the studies of Japanese music.
