Japanese architectural reference books “KIWARI-SHO” are known as the method of architectural design for Japanese traditional architecture used by the rules of proportional relationship and module. In this design technique, there are some important factors composed the base of system, for example “HASHIRA” (pillar) and “TARUKI” (rafter), which are the beginning of proportional relationship reaching every parts. Each chain of connection is necessarily joined somewhere, and it causes specific problems as contradiction. This paper traces the contents of “KIWARI-SHO” from this point of view, in order to understand its history.
