University of Tsukuba, Faculty of Art, Hashimoto Laboratory
We conduct research on ``architectural and urban environmental design that is in harmony with the natural environment.''
A graduation exhibition (second half) will be held at the Tsukuba Museum of Art in Ibaraki Prefecture, and there will be an exhibition in the area of environmental design.
The exhibition period is from February 2023, 2 (Tuesday) to March 28, 3 (Sunday).
I went to Tsushima in Nagasaki Prefecture to investigate Koya.
This is my first time visiting Tsushima...how many times?I don't know anymore.
Every time I go, I feel like I notice something, make a discovery, or have new questions arise...
Through repeated observation, things that seemed the same at first gradually become more distinguishable...that's the feeling.
A graduation/completion exhibition is currently being held at the Tsukuba Art Museum in Ibaraki Prefecture.
A gallery talk was held at the graduation exhibition.
There were quite a number of people, and I felt like we were returning to a pre-coronavirus society.
This post is the final installment of the Ehime series.
The last stop on our Ehime trip was to the Judenken area of Uchiko Town.
First up is Uchiko.
You can see not only the audience seats and the stage, but also the underground abyss and other stage mechanisms.
Next, we moved a little further and headed towards the townscape.
The highlights include the white and yellow painted walls, the trowel paintings, and the sea rat walls.
Even here...
There was a mise structure.
The type is a little different from what I saw in Tokushima.
It is true that in the guidebook I have that introduces historical townscapes, it is written that there are ``Oto'', ``Shinji'', and ``Yokoba'', but they are not particularly introduced in photos. I never expected there to be so many misezukuri.
Continuing from last time, we will talk about Ozu.
The townscape of Ozu was very interesting, but Garyu Sanso and Bansenso were wonderful.
First up is Garyu Sanso.
Well, it was amazing.
Next, go to Bansenso.
It was amazing here too.
The building at Bansenso was nice, but I was impressed by the water intake system.
Domestic water flows from a side hole cut out of the bedrock.
I can't even imagine how difficult this construction must have been.
And what's next to this water tank...
! ! !Surprise! ! !
Afterwards, I toured the storehouse, and it looked like a clay-painted storehouse.
It is also a big mystery as to where in Japan the clay-painted itakura are distributed.
To Ozu, Ozu City.This is also a small traditional castle town.
As usual?The castle can only be seen from a distance.
As you walk through a quiet shopping street with a Gangi-like arcade, you will see a nice townscape.
As you go deeper into the townscape, you will find a commercial facility called "Pokopen Yokocho"?had.
``Pokopen'' was a game when I was a child.nostalgic.Do children today also use Pokopen? ?
And there is also a mise structure in Ozu!
The highlight of Ozu City was not just the castle town (and castle).The story of Ozu City will be continued next time.
The Ehime edition continues.
The top photo is the former Kaimei School.
Next, I visited Uwa-cho, Seiyo City.This is the heavy-duty construction area.
The townscape was a mixture of Hirairi and Tsumari, and there were many accents such as corbels, lattices, sleeve walls, and Uken, making the townscape rich in variety and enjoyable to look at.
While maintaining a certain sense of unity as a ``traditional wooden townscape'', if you look closely, you will find a group of unique buildings.
I thought this was an example that could be useful in establishing landscape rules for modern townscapes.
I discovered the renovated door of the cafe, and my expectations were high that it might have a mise-zukuri style.Then...
For this... I have no choice but to go to the museum!So I entered the museum.Then...
I will look into the details in the future, but it seems that Ehime Prefecture has a different type of mise structure than Tokushima Prefecture.
In the text I have that introduces the traditional townscape of Ehime Prefecture, it mentions ``Kotto'' and ``Yokoba'', but it doesn't seem to mention ``Misezukuri''.
I still haven't learned enough.
To Uwajima.
This is also a nostalgic place I visited during my high school days.
I remember going to Uwajima Castle back then, but this time I just looked up.
I went to Iwamatsu, Uwajima City.
This was also a small traditional area.
