| Research Abstract |
This study area covered from Tohoku to Chugoku regions, and approximately 20 extant modern architectural buildings were chosen for this investigation. As a result of my tree ring analysis, the Nagano Hinoki Cypress was found to be widely used to construct modern architecture across the two regions. Among other results, I found evidence that the Nagano Hinoki Cypress was used to build national treasure Jishoji-Ginkaku and Togu-dou in Kyoto and widely distributed in Kyoto by the end of 15th century. Furthermore, the Nagano Hinoki Cypress was frequently utilized as part of building materials for architectural purposes in the Edo Period. The study results demonstrate that the tree ring analysis of the Nagano Hinoki Cypress can provide strong insights into studying history of dendro- provenance in our country.
