Abstract

In the field of design, the term ""harmony"" means the aesthetic value judgment with regard to mutual relations of each element in the organization of the whole one. The purpose of this paper is the inspection of harmony in Japanese architecture Chashitsu design. The main contents of the study are analyses of rhythm, composition, and the harmony based on the former results in Chashitsu design. Furthermore, we clarify the characteristics in Chashitsu design by using the law of route N in the section ""Various aspects of composition"", and using fractal dimension as the guideline of the complexity in the section ""Various aspects of rhythm"".
