A dining kitchen is the Japanese English named by the Japan Housing Corporation in 1955, and is the fundamental housing style of postwar Japan. The purpose of this study is to make clear forming process of a dining kitchen. After the defeat of the Second World War, when Japanese some architects had the subject of a minimum house, they proposed "Wohn Kuche" as a model. "Wohn Kuche" was a housing style for a minimum house in Germany after the First World War. On the other hand, architects proposed three new life-styles. They were "separation of a meal room and a bedroom", "taking a meal on a chair", and "democratization of a kitchen." It is thought that the dining kitchen was materialized by two proposals, "Wohn Kuche" and the three life-styles.
