On December 11, a tour of Okazaki and Nagoya's architecture was held, "Owari Mikawa's carpenter ridge and his work." Professor Kazuyoshi Fumoto, a professor at Nagoya Institute of Technology. There were 27 participants.
We toured Rokusho Shrine, an important cultural property in Okazaki, Iga Hachimangu Shrine, Takiyama Toshogu Shrine, and Yangkiso in Nagoya. Okazaki's three architectures were built in the early Edo period by carpenters Yoshihisa Kihara and Choji Suzuki, who were heavily used by Hidetada Tokugawa and Iemitsu.
First, I visited Rokusho Shrine in Okazaki (1636). This building is the so-called Gongen-zukuri, a complex shrine hall that connects the main hall and the hall of worship by votive-offering hall. I visited worship hall, which I cannot usually enter, and the inside of our palace. main hall, the worship hall explained how the difference in the quality of the building is expressed by the height of the floor, the luxury of the braid, and the patterns of the animals and plants being carved.
The next visit was Iga Hachimangu Shrine (1636), an important cultural property. I also visited the inside of worship hall in Gongen-zukuri.
This worship hall is a cypress-roofed shrine hall that is characterized by the shape of a gable on the roof.
In the previous repair, the coloring outside the building was restored to its original appearance and repainted, and the interior coloring with little damage was preserved carefully without repainting it. I felt that restoration and preservation were both meaningful.
After lunch, visit Takiyama Toshogu Shrine (1646).
The uphills and stairs became a good exercise after meals.
Built 10 years after Rokusho Shrine and Iga Hachimangu Shrine, this shrine hall is a form separated by main hall and worship hall.
By comparing these three architectures, you can clearly see the characteristics and transitions of the shrine hall composition.
The last time I visited was Yangeiso in Nagoya. This is a separate residence of Matsuzakaya founder, Jirozaemon Ito, a building contracted by Takenaka Corporation, which was built from the Taisho era to the early Showa era, and developed from a carpenter ridge from Nagoya to a modern construction industry. .
It is now donated to Nagoya City and is open to the public using its historic architecture and gardens.
This time, we specially toured the inside of Choshokaku and Bankaro. It was a wonderful modern architecture that brought the playfulness of the owner and the highest technology of the time.
A very luxurious tour where you can go around buildings that you cannot usually enter inside with easy-to-understand explanations from Dr. Foot. There was a lot of content, and I didn't have enough time.
Occasionally, it's a good idea to jump out of Kansai and have tours in other areas.
Customers also said, "I want you to hold a tour outside of Kansai." I hope that it can be held at the opportunity of traveling exhibitions and other events.
