Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to solve it also as that of the viewpoint of the history of negotiations with a foreign country individually concretely about fixing of "Zen-style architecture", and subsequent deployment. In research, I took into consideration the historical records of both Japan and China, and investigation of a traditional building and the new scientific result in an adjoining domain.
The following became clear as a result of examination. As a result of inquiring a local exception and according to a time, many actual conditions which cannot be understood only with the existing style concept understood the Buddhist temple in China and Japan. Moreover, when Kinki and the Setouchi district were greatly compared with the east country, it turned out that the big difference in the history of a medieval Buddhist temple is seen.
