Abstract
As one of the fundamental study about the method of shaping the environment suitable for snow-watching, the image of snow-scape in Japanese classical poem “Waka” was reserched as follows:
1. Two texts of “Waka” collection, “Gyokuyô-shû” and “Fuga-shu” arranged in the middle ages of Japan were selected for the analysis of snow-scape.
2. The images of snow-scape as phenomenon abstracted by the analysis were divided into 9 large groups and 55 small types.
3. The 9 groups were named as showing next,
(1) SNOW falling in the air
(3) SNOW covering a little
(5) SNOW falling and covering on ground
(7) brightness and color of SNOW
(9) SNOW melting and disappearing
(2) SNOW just falling on something
(4) SNOW falling on tree or bamboo
(6) SNOW falling on waterside
(8) SNOW changing to ice
4. As a result, many valuable images were chosen and it was found that some of these images indicate the principle of composing the objects for snow-watching.
