Abstract
Tetsugoro Wakimizu and Tsuyoshi Tamura, who engaged in the designation of the Setonaikai National Park, admired Bisan-Seto archipelago landscape from Mt. Wasyuzan, and were confident of the national park's core, at the beginning of the Syowa era. The paper shows what is the differences between this archipelago landscape and the preceding landscape, through analyses of descriptions related to the landscape in the travel accounts and so on, and the consideration of the archipelago landscape's changes, from the mediaeval ages to the modern ages. The archipelago landscape was admired as scene landscape, panorama landscape, or sequence landscape in the late Edo era. But it was inclined to the sequence landscape, and began to turn to the panorama landscape, in the late Meiji era. Wakimizu and Tamura pushed forward the turning, and discovered new panorama landscape. The view of this landscape had been arranged gradually.
