 note = {This article on Kuroda Seiki-related letters in the Tokyo National Research Institute of Cultural Properties collection focuses primarily on letters, postcards, telegrams and memos addressed to Kuroda. The article deciphers a total of 256 of these materials. The article also includes one letter sent by Seiki's brother-in-law Hashiguchi Bunzô, and 12 items sent by his close friend Sugi Takejirô, which were written in French and hence not deciphered. The majority of the deciphered texts were written in kuzushiji (running character script), which meant that we first produced typescript versions of the materials.
     These materials were deciphered using visual image data and the photographs produced from that data. The items were grouped by the families from which they were sent, namely, the Kuroda family, the Kabayama family, the former clan lord Shimazu family, the Sugi family (Sugi Takejirô), the Hashiguchi family and the steward Shinozuka family. Each of the items was given a material number to aid in the photography process, which are noted in this article as material numbers. The material numbers and family groupings were not chronological in order, and since this would prove inconvenient for understanding their contents and use of their data, the materials were regrouped without family distinctions, and reorganized in overall chronological order. These catalogue numbers were then used to create a comprehensive catalogue. The catalogue includes the basic data on each item, along with the major contents of the item detailed in the notes column. Given that Kuroda Seiki was a painter, those letters related to art were extracted and a catalogue made of that grouping.
     Regarding the senders of the letters, a chart of data organized by sender was created, along with each family's data distribution chart and a brief genealogy of each family, with the exception of the Shinozuka family, in order to clarify their relationships with Seiki.
     A list was also made of the individual data on the recipients of the letters (albeit the majority were addressed to Seiki).
     The next issue of Bijutsu Kenkyu will introduce photographic facsimiles of letters amongst these materials that were sent by Hashiguchi Naouemon, who studied in France at the same time as Seiki, his uncle Kuroda Kiyotsuna who conveyed his understanding of Seiki's final decision to become a painter, and his close friend Sugi Takejirô who expressed his understanding of the Hakubakai and his anticipation about the new art movement.},
