As to “Garden for Practical Use” During The Latter Half of Taisio Period to The Former Half of Showa Period

Abstract

This paper consider the appearance of “Gardens For practical Ues”, in “the competitions about the plans for a house” during the latter half of the Taisyo Period and the former half of the Showa period, from the view point of its relationship with the arrangement of rooms in the house.
Their appearance seems to have reflected the facts as follows. That model for them in Europe and the United States developed under strict financial constriction of the World War One, so those fitted for the situations of Japan during that period, that is, the period from the great deppression to World War Two.
Through that period, their style had experienced little change or development. And the financial constriction on the side of the client seems to have been the main factors of such stagnancy. But the appearance of such a kind of gardens itself shows development of new view to gardens that is different from the traditional views in Japan.
