Study on “beauty” in Yoshiro Taniguchi’s “national Beauty” and “local Beauty”

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to clarify the extent and depth to which beauty related to national and local lands was perceived in architect Yoshiro Taniguchi’s descriptions of “National Beauty” and “Local Beauty” in the historical background before and after the chaotic end of the war. Taniguchi’s important perspective on the beauty of the land and hometown is that the situation of beauty and ugliness, which appeared on the outside as the object of landscape, was taken as a major matter of mental expression of the inner world of the human being projected onto it.
