The purpose of the study is to reveal the full picture of the relocation and reconstruction of the Former Imperial Hotel (1923-1968) designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) and to investigate the “preservation of the architectural style” proposed by Yoshiro Taniguchi (1904-1979), the first director of the Museum Meiji-Mura. This paper (part 2) looks at the process behind the preservation movement of the Former Imperial Hotel, which resulted in its relocation, and examines the survey records obtained by Akira Muto laboratory of Kogakuin University and the documentary photography taken by Shindo Akashi laboratory of Waseda University during its dismantling.
