Lecture Official ceremony: Old architectural construction techniques - Protecting Forbidden City
Lecturer Lee Eijiu (China)
Date and time: October 10 (Fri) 18:00 to 20:00
Venue: AB Hall, Tokyo Head Office, Takenaka Corporation
A lecture was held with Mr. Lee Eijia, a leader of China. There are about 60 participants. It seems that some people participated in a lecture by Mr. Hide Shitaka, a leader of Korea, held the other day.
Mr. Lee has been working on repairing the building in Forbidden City at the National Palace Museum. In the lecture on this day, he explained the occupations and techniques related to construction with a lot of photos of the site.
First, an overview of the repair and reconstruction work that we have been working on was introduced. It makes me feel once again that repairing many buildings in the vast Forbidden City is a difficult task.
Next is the introduction of building technology used in construction work. The slide is the lumbering method of the roof girder. In addition, there were various rules regarding the construction of the building. In the past, some carpenters couldn't read letters, so the rules were compiled as oral biography, and it was said that they would not have been able to work without knowing it.
Next, the work of various jobs other than carpenters was introduced. Each has specialized craftsmen, such as tiles, stones, coloring, etc., and construction cannot be done without their cooperation. It is a valuable content that could not be introduced at the exhibition.
Finally, the question and answer session. There were various questions, such as the details of the coloring of Forbidden City and how to train disciples.
In Kobe, three leaders from Japan, China and South Korea will meet together to hold a symposium. Based on today's report, I think that the commonities and differences between the three countries will be clarified, so please look forward to it.
