FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON THE PROCESS OF CHANGE OF THE WESTERN STYLE FURNITURE IN THE MODERN AGES

许多西方建筑在不同的地方建造，包括从江户末期到明治早期的日本聚居地。当时的家具肯定是从欧洲或中国进口的，例如香港和上海，但这些家具甚至逐渐在日本生产。本研究的目的是为了弄清日本西式家具生产技术的变化过程。我们勾勒出了建于1908年的三井民族仓部建筑的轮廓。其次，从70多件家具中归纳出四个重要的表，并通过对顶板和支腿的结构和连接方式的论述，重点描述了生产工艺的特点。我们已经指出，工人不能完全了解家具的结构和木材的性质，这些家具在设计和技术上都具有重要的历史地位。位于柳川市的田花老宅以前由许多建筑组成。它于1912年以日本和西方的风格建造。我们已经明确了这座西式建筑的建造过程和特点。接下来，我们将家具分为四类，并重点阐述了材料、设计和生产工艺之间的关系。位于大川市的Seiriki-Shuzo办公室建于1906年。我们在那里发现了两件有趣的家具，一张长方形的桌子和一个角落的架子，装饰图案的元素在设计上类似于长崎格洛弗花园的椭圆形桌子和侧板。我们得出的结论是，前两件家具是在长崎生产的，大川和长崎之间有密切的关系。

A number of western architectures were built in various places including the settlements in Japan through the end of Edo into the early Meiji period. The furnitures of the day must have been imported from Europe or China, for example Hong Kong and Shanghai, but those have gradually been producted even in Japan. The aim of this study is to make clear the process of change of the production technique of the western style furniture in Japan.We have given an outline of the building of Mitsui Minato Kurabu built in 1908. Next, we have educed four important tables from among 70 furnitures or more, and mainly described the character of production technique by remarking the structure of top board and legs and the way of jointing them. We have pointed out that the workman could not fully understand the structure of furniture and the properties of wood, and that those furnitures hold an important historical position both in design and in technique.OHANA,the old mansion of TACHIBANA,which stands at Yanagawa-shi, formerly consisted of many buildings. It was constructed with Japanese and Western styles in 1912. We have made clear the process of construction and the characteristics of this western style building. Next, we have classified the furnitures into four groups, and further have especially described the relation of material, design and techniques of production.The office of Seiriki-Shuzo, which stands at Okawa-shi, was constructed in 1906. We have discovered two interesting furnitures there, a rectangular table and a corner shelf, and the elements of decorative motifs resemble in design those of the elliptical table and the side-board in the Glover Garden in Nagasaki. We have concluded that the former two furnitures were producted in nagasaki and that there was the close relation between Okawa and Nagasaki.
