| Research Abstract |
Is it right or wrong to consider the tradition since Sannai Maruyama as an origin of the landscape where Japanese mental image todey that appearance of japan covered with silver in the Ginkakuji Temple 500 years ago is preferred to gold in Konjikido 1000 years ago has been formed in the Japanese cultural history? so the study focuses on the landscape of Sannai Maruyama as an origin of the view of red in Japan and the color of japan red excavated there will be promising clue to the expansion and deepening of the investigation study concerning "red color in Japan and that in China".
Science today will be able to elucidate the original color of japan red seen in the painting of the utensils or japan black excavated in the same way and to approach the culture of Sannai Maruyama. The landscape of red projected upon Joumon Culture, which has come down to the minds of the Japanese nation, born in the Tohoku region of Japan, where autums leaves of trees turn bright red in the blessing nature, i

And in addition, considering that Mr.Ryotaro Shiba described the place in autumn as a "mahoroba" (utopia) of the north, in the process of thinking that the origin of red in Japan is japan red in the Joumon era and red leaves in the moutains and fields, one landscape comes into minds.

Was it ever connected with the maidens' white and red clothes dancing in front of a deity in posterity? Or what was the role of red as a sacred color in the ancient rituals in East Asia? What was the role of japan red in Sannai Maruyama to the culture in the ancient Asia and how could it be connected with the traditional culture today?
It must be a theme expected to provide a new phase to overall study from atural science to archaeoloty and from history to cultural anthropology. Less
