Outline of the exhibition

There are various wooden buildings in the world, and the characteristics of each region appear. Not only environmental characteristics such as climate and materials, but also various factors are reflected in architecture, such as beliefs and external exchanges that people have been involved in living.
In this exhibition, we will focus on the region of various large and small islands called the Southeast Asian Islands, and introduce its architecture and lifestyle culture. Among them, the Austronesian languages (straddling the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam), the main ethnic groups of the region, were influenced by neighboring China, India, and Islam, based on animism, and has been influenced by European influences since the colonial era, and has shaped a unique and diverse architectural world for each ethnic group. What is the technology of building such a region? Some craftsmen came to Japan with tools, while others did not exist in the first place. Wisdom to know and use the materials obtained from familiar living areas. I would like to take a glimpse of the world of Southeast Asia, where diverse cultures are mixed, from the perspective of architectural technology.
※This exhibition will be held at 2 venues in Tokyo and Kobe.
