| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Former Crown Prince’s Palace (Akasaka Palace) was Japan’s first Western-style palace constructed in 1909. Dr. Tokuma Katayama conducted the construction project as the head architect of the Imperial Household Ministry. The objective of this research is to understand the design process of the decoration by analyzing the documents, drawings and blueprints in the imperial household archives. The research clarified that Dr. Katayama had the concept that combines Japanese, European and American art, specifically, he used Japanese motifs such as the chrysanthemum, which is the imperial crest, and Japanese armor, into the sculptures designed by the French decorators.
