This study focuses on the residential works with pergola-style structures in modern Japan, in an attempt to understand the extent and background of their popularity. This paper deals with six architectural journals (Kenchiku Sekai, Kenchiku Gahou, Jutaku, Kenchiku to Shakai, Shinkenchiku, and Jutaku to Teien) and examines the shapes of pergola-style structures, and the transition of number about residential works with it. The results showed that residential works with pergola-style structures began to appear sporadically in the 1910s and became widespread in the 1920s. Then, in the 1930s, the shape of pergola-style structures became more diverse.
