| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Incase of considering the Takai-kan (ideas of ‘the world after death’) and landscapes from a viewpoint of Japanese archaeology, sun worship and worship of volcanoes were firm foundations of the Takai-kan in the early society of rice-paddy cultivation before 6 CE or introduction of Buddhism. In connection with this point, it can be pointed out that a regional variation of the Takai-kan, which is organized by a specific imagination that a mountain as a cemetery piles up over the Tkai-kan, was realized. There were two types of it, which are based on each existing place namely volcanic area or non-volcanic area. Regarding the Takai-kan of non-volcanic area such as the Nara Basin, which became the center of Yamato Authority, a specific site distribution pattern based on the East-West directions as a standard axis is recognized. Furthermore it is most likely that the landscape design of rice-paddy farmers (i.e. sun worship), treating a whole basin as a man-made landscape, was established.
