In the entrance hall, a full-scale structure model of a Korean temple made by Shintaka Shui ridge is installed. A powerful architectural model of 4m long conveys the skills of Korean carpenters. A major feature of this exhibition is that it offers a panoramic view of numerous architectural models from Japan, China and South Korea.
In the intro with gallery space, along with a model of the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City), the architectural culture of Japan, China and South Korea and the characteristics of the masters are summarized in a compact panel.
Exhibitions is deployed in that order: China, Korea and Japan. First of all, it's the Chinese corner. It introduces Forbidden City's design and tools, focusing on the paper model "Carko-sama" made to show to the emperor of the palace.
The center of the venue is the Korean corner. In the center, a structural model of Takashi Remon (Nandaimon) will be displayed, and the board drawings, mold boards, and carpentry tools used in the reconstruction work will make up the wall.
In this exhibition, a variety of video exhibitions are arranged everywhere.
The photo above is a "moving picture" created by a video artist based on a picture depicting a Korean carpenter. In addition, there is also a panorama video that allows you to see the inside view of Forbidden City Taiwaden in China and Kinseiden in Korea on a touch panel vertically and horizontally.
The back corner is Japan. There is a 1/2 structural model of Yakushi-ji Temple Eastin-do, which was produced in conjunction with this exhibition. You can see the ideas that have realized the beauty of Japan, such as the eaves that protrude deeply and thin and delicate parts. Of course, a number of carpentry tools for the Mitsuo Ogawa ridge are also on display.
At the theater corner, Mitsuzaku products featuring newly produced beams from Japan, China and South Korea will be screened (about 20 minutes each). In the foreground, there is a mini corner where you can touch and experience trees from Japan, China and South Korea. We also have a Chinese scale "gate shaku".
This is a unique exhibition that offers a panoramic view of the architectural culture of Japan, China and South Korea. Please come to the venue.
