今村天主堂建築工事における九州地方の建築職人?鉄川輿助による施工管理の実態

摘要

The church of Imamura was constructed by the local master-builder, Yosuke TETSUKAWA, around 1913. This paper aims to clarify its management and the execution scheme of constructing the church of Imamura, by verifying comprehensively the various records, written by Yosuke at the construction site. As a result, it is presumed that Yosuke prepared to make architectural drawings for construction in advance and then estimated the proper amount of the building material by using the relevant drawings. Based on there evidences, Yosuke is highly presumed as a local contractor to have established the modern construction system for undertaking its project in the church of Imamura.%長崎県五島列島出身の建築職人?鉄川輿助（1879～1976）（以後、rn輿助と表記）は、地元である長崎県五島や九州本土において、数多rnくの教会建築を設計、および施工している。我が国の近代草創rn期の建築生産活動において、それらは宣教師等の指導のもとで地元rn大工?輿助が洋風建築の生産体系を受容してゆく過程を示すものとrnして、現在、地域の文化財として顕彰されている。
