Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper analyzes historical architectural books “KIWARI-SHO”, entitled “Torii no Myoumoku”, and presents new evidence that sheds light on the theoretical transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. The first part focuses on interpreting previously unstudied versions of “KIWARI-SHO” that have remained unknown to scholars in the academic field, in order to gain a clearer understanding of the text. The second part compares medieval and early modern texts to trace the transition, with particular attention to the shift from concrete to abstract characteristics.
