| Research Abstract |
This report shows the building and repairing administration policy for the Imperial and Provincial Shrines, delving into documents of the national and prefectural governments.
Between 1876 and 1886, the Ministry of Home Affairs could respond to the needs to newly build or repair the buildings of the shrines. In 1887, kakusha-kyotu-kin system was introduced for repair or reconstruction of shrine buildings damaged by disasters. But, the budget allotted to it was not sufficient, and a new budget rinji-jinja-hi was added in the 1910s. Those budgets were increased in 1934 with an advice of the Committee for Restudying the Government's Shrine Policy. For the eight years following 1934, largest amount of shrines' building and repairing activities had been carried out. Seigen-zu, which aimed at restriction of buildings' areas and site planning of shrine buildings, had much effect on the shrines. The ministry concentrated on figures related to area restriction and budget allotment, although they were aware of the importance of each shrine's uniqueness and history. Meiji Shrine and Nogi Shrines are good examples to examine the relationship between the deities and shrine style appropriate for them. Since this is a sort of problem no one can find perfect answer for it, the architects relied on the deities' tastes and history.
Takashi Sunami was the most notable figure for shrine planning and design in modern ages. He searched for shrine designs appropriate for modern ages making much of their tradition and customs. He also arranged administrational system to run the ministry's building and repairing activities more smoothly.
