| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to examine the historic environment that shrine architecture, the precincts and the surrounding environment together formed for the landscape of shrine from late medieval to early modern times to clarify the landscape and characteristics based on faith. Regarding with Mt. Miwa and the Ohmiwa shrine in the Kanbun era (1661-73), taboos were established behind “Mitsu-Torii”, and the area was classified as “Miwa Myojin Main Shrine Mountain”. It shows that in that setting, from 1638 there was a view towards “Tomeyama” or the total protection of the entire mountain as, which at the same time was overlapping with a view towards the partial protection. Here we can see the condition of a multi-layered protection taking the shape, and already such an area could be seen in picture maps drawn before the establishment of the taboos.
