Comparative Studies of gardens represented in Literature and Art

我们的研究主要基于1987-1988年题为“艺术和文学中空间表现的比较研究”的上一次合作研究补助金的结果，旨在通过将我们的关注仅集中在“花园”主题上，更深入地研究当时出现并预计将受到进一步调查的各种问题。通过考察绘画等文艺作品中所表现的园林意象。通过摄影和胶片，我们全神贯注地把握花园的现状和应该是什么(花园的理想)之间的关系。研究过程中采用的分析方法既有历时的，也有共时的，将日本、东方和西方的园林表现放在历史的语境中进行细致的研究和比较。因此，可以说，通过清楚地指出花园表征TH…的机制和变迁，这一目的完全实现了从比较文化研究的角度对从古希腊到近代日本的时间进行了较为粗略的梳理，同时对东西方真实的园林进行了精准的研究，厘清了每个园林的结构和功能，展示了它们的组成部分是如何紧密联系在一起，构成一个和谐的空间，反映或代表着每一种文化的宇宙观。特别是在对伊斯兰园林和中国园林的研究中，我们确认了天堂的概念。它根深蒂固，是解读园林空间构成意义的关键。在这些实际分析过程中积累的各个领域的数据，以摄影、录像带和计算机图形的形式保存，以供我们进一步研究使用，其中一部分在文理学院博物馆展出。东京大学，以“漫步在花园”的名义。我们也了解到，新技术的使用带来了更广泛的原创分析方法的可能性，因此，我们可以肯定地说，我们对花园的研究取得了很大的成就，表明对空间表征进行全面和关联的研究是很有可能的。较少

Our research,based mainly on the results of the previous grant-in-aid for co-operative research 1987-1988 entitled "Comparative Studies of Space Representation in Arts and Literature",aimed at going deeper into the problems of various kinds which had then appeared and been expected to be subject to further investigation, by focusing our concern exclusively on the theme of 'garden'. Through examining the images of garden represented in literature and arts such as pictures. photographys and films, we endevoured to grasp the correlation between gardens as they are and what they should be (the ideal of garden). The methods of analysis taken during the research were diachronic as well as synchronic, and the aspects of garden representation in Japan, the East and the West were minutely studied in the historical context and carefully compared. As a result, we may quite well say that the purpose was fully realized by pointing out clearly the mechanism and transition of garden representation th … More roughout the time from Ancient Greek to the modernized Japan from the viewpoint of comparative cultural studies.At the same time, we studied precisely real gardens both in the East and the West, and clarified the structures and functions of each garden and showed how their components are closely related with one another to make a harmonic space, and reflect or represent the cosmology of each culture. Especially in the study of Islamic and Chinese gardens, we confirmed that the notion of 'paradise'. deeply rooted in human mind, was the key to deciphering the meanings of the space composition of gardens. The data accumulated in each field in the course of these practical analyses, were preserved in the form of photographys, videotapes, and computer graphics, for the use of further development of our research, and a part of them were exhibited in the Museum of the College of Arts and Sciences. University of Tokyo, under the name of "Rambling in the gardens". We also got to know that the use of new technology brought about a wider possibility of original ways of analysis.Therefore, we can surely say that our research on the garden achieved indicating a great possibility of comprehensive and correlative study of space representation.
