Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the form and formation of mountain huts from the Edo period to the present day, focusing on worshipping mountains: Mt.Ontake, Mt.Haku(Hakusan)and Mt.Tateyama. On Mt.Ontake, I found the characteristic of floor plan related to somagoya or komorido which had been seen since the late Edo period and this is still being used today. On Mt.Haku, stone-walled shrine on the summit and muro and do below formed sacred mountainscape until the early Edo period. However, the ascent trails and muro declined after Heisenji Temple seized power on the mountain. On Mt.Tateyama, only Murodo served pilgrims in the Edo period and its unique structural form was not only a measure against snow accumulation but also a symbol of the prestige of the Kaga Domain. In the Meiji period, teahouses were built along the worship ascent trails. At the end of the Taisho period, Toyama Prefecture intensively built new mountain huts in order to have the mountain designated as a national park.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本では古来より山地が信仰の対象とされ、近世には庶民が講を組織して高山の山頂をめざしたが、その登拝活動を可能にしたのは山小屋の存在であった。しかし、これまで研究対象として看過されてきたため、こうした山小屋建築の歴史的・文化的価値が評価されないまま現代的に建て替えられ、各山域に固有の建築形式やそれらが成す山岳景観が失われている。申請者の先行研究の対象である富士山と本研究の成果をあわせて、日本の山岳文化の一端を形成してきた信仰にねざす山小屋建築という建築類型の把握を進めることができた。山小屋建築の将来像を模索する上で本研究の成果が果たす役割は大きいと考える。
