Research Keywords
Comments I study Japanese traditional architecture, such as residence, castle, shrine and temple. Considering the old documents and results of excavation, I suggest the accurate reconstructed images of lost architecture. Besides, at my laboratory, we do research on the shrine and temple in the Chugoku region, especially which were made in the early modern era.
