Space and Ceremonies in the traditional Japanese house

在这个项目中，我考虑了传统日本房屋的空间和在这些空间中举行的仪式之间的关系。在传统日本住宅的起源Shinden-zukuri风格的住宅中，通常使用固定分隔设备的可移动隔板，如shoj^3或shitomi^4来包围生活区。一旦这些隔板被打开或拿走，几个房间被连接起来，出现一个更大的空间，而shitomi被向上翻转和悬挂；内部空间与外部花园相结合，获得了更广阔的空间。空间的开放性和灵活性是Shinden-zukuri住宅的最大特点。然而，这种开放的内部空间在新登小屋之前的日本家庭住宅传统中是找不到的，这一事实告诉我们它是从新登小屋风格开始的。我想它的起源应该是在日本古代宫殿面向宫廷的仪式建筑中，这些建筑是从中国宫殿演变而来的。在古代宫殿里，大殿和庭院是一起用于举行重要仪式的。仪式的程序要求主殿与对面的朝廷保持平稳的统一。就像这样，房屋和花园的密切联系也在新登祖里住宅的仪式中得到了认可。所以我在2004年发表的报告中展示了许多新登祖里住宅和传统日本房屋的仪式，并阐明了传统日本房屋的空间和仪式之间的关系。

In this project I consider the relations between the spaces of the traditional Japanese houses and the ceremonies held in these spaces.In the Shinden-zukuri style residence, the origin of the traditional Japanese house, it was common to use the removable partitions like shoj^3 or shitomi^4 of fixed dividing equipment to enclose the living quarters. Once these partitions were opened or taken away, several rooms were connected and appeared a larger space, while the shitomi being turned upward and hung; the inner space united the outer garden and gained much extensive space. The openness and flexibility of the space is the greatest feature of the Shinden-zukuri residence.However, the fact that such open inner space can not be found anywhere in the tradition of the Japanese domestic house before the Shinden-zukuri tells us it had started from the Shinden-zukuri style. And I suppose its origin would be in the ceremonial building faced to the court in the Japanese ancient palaces that were derived from the Chinese palaces. In the ancient palace, both the main hall and its court were used together for the important ceremonies. The procedure of the ceremonies required the main hall to have smooth unity to the confronting court. Just like this, the close interrelation of house and garden was also recognized in the ceremonies in the Shinden-zukuri residence. So I show many ceremonies in the Shinden-zukuri residences and the traditional Japanese houses and clarify the relations between the spaces of the traditional Japanese houses and the ceremonies in the report published in 2004.
