| Research Abstract |
Since this year falls on the last year of our study, the achievements have been summarized. The drawings have been recorded with their descriptions and photographed in the order of appearing in the temporary catalog prepared in the first year. The photographs consist of monochromes(4x5, 6x9, and 35 mm), color pictures(4x5 positive, 6x9 positive, and 35 mm negative), and those of segments. The master of Nakai Family in the Meiji Era is regarded as having sorted the drawings with orange-colored number marked on each package. Based on these numbers, we have checked the drawings and found that almost all the drawings numbered from 1 to 181 remain. In addition, we have discovered 86 drawings that are not numbered. Finally, we have identified a total of 504 drawings for 269 constructions. As a result, we have completed a list consisting of the drawing names, the number of drawing pages, dimensions, scales, drawers' names, drawing types, i.e., pasted-plan type or drawn-plan type, whether the

drawings are colored or not, and how the drawings are damaged, if applicable.
The architectures in the drawings have been classified into castles, Kinri, temples, shrines, Sukiya, Yakuyashiki, and others. Road maps, town maps, and plans of civil engineering structures can also be found among the drawings. All of the drawings reflect the organizational function of the Nakai office. Plans account for the majority of the drawings, and there are also drawings of construction site allocations and detailed drawings, though only a few. All the drawings of Sukiya are three-dimensional. As the drawing techniques, the so-called Harie-zu technique that merely pastes plans drawn on color paper to graph paper is used for earlier drawings, while the Kakie-zu technique is used for later drawings. A rare bird's-eye view of the precincts of a temple is included in the collections. The oldest drawing is of the Nagoya Castle constructed in the Keicho era so far as the drawings found to date are concerned. There are also some drawings prepared in the Keicho era. However, the most of the drawings are the ones prepared during a period between the end of the 17th century and the early 18th century.
Based on these Nakai Family's drawings, we have analyzed Yakuyashiki, one of the Bukeyashiki in Kyoto. From this analysis, we have successfully obtained some findings based on the drawings of Kyoto Shoshidai Yashiki, Nijo Zaiban Yashiki, Kinritsuke Yashiki, Sentotsuke Yashiki, Nyointsuke Yashiki, Kyoto Machibugyo Yashiki, Daikan Yashiki, Hikeshi Yashiki, and Kyoto Shugoshoku Yashiki.
