近代における「琉球建築」の成立と地域社会

摘要

Chuta Ito the historian of architecture surveyed the historical buildings in Okinawa. Ito gave them the name of "Ryukyu architecture", and positioned it as one of the type of Chinese architecture. On Okinawan side his valuation of "Ryukyu architecture" was broadly embraced around the intellectuals. And in 1930's the movement to try to designate "Ryukyu architecture" as National treasure toned up, because regional society needed to insist on the value of Okinawan culture against the government through it. Behind it there was the will of regional society to assimilate into the nation state rapidly and to remove the cultural discrimination between "Japan" and Okinawa.%近代学術知である建築史学は、日本国内、及びアジア諸地域におけ る学術調査を通して、日本建築史、東洋建築史という学問体系を形成し ていった。建築史学に与る学術調査については、アジア諸地域を中心と して先行研究が蓄積され、その特質が明らかにされつつある。
