By delving into the image of Kunio Yanagita from perspectives such as his scholarship and thought, theories on youth experiences, conversion, and the Emperor system, the author, who pioneered the re-evaluation of Yanagita after the war, can be said to be steadily clarifying Yanagita's position in intellectual history through comparisons with people like Nyozekan Hasegawa and Ikki Kita. In particular, while learning from the image of the common people and the concept of the common people that Kunio Yanagita depicted, the author continues to explore the depths of the "spirit of the common people" through the formation of new local studies by the author himself, the management of the Common People University, and the practical application of local research.
