The radiocarbon dating method was applied to the study of Japanese traditional textiles. The Japanese traditional texture studied includes the traditional musical instrument flute sack which is possessed by Japanese Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339).

In our previous work, we studied and applied the radiocarbon dating method to one of the oldest Japanese flag  Emperor Go-Daigo possessed. The ¹⁴C dating of this flag was 1463-1528 or 1553-1634.

We launched a research project of Southern-Northern court at Yoshino of Nara, Japan  and clarify blank history of Japan by applying radiocarbon dating method to Emperor's Imperial Treasure in Anou history and folklore museum.
