In Meiji-era, Chuta Itoh started the study of Japanese architectural history. He had the important relationship with Kakuzo Okakura. Itoh received the essential ideas of traditional Japanese artistic history from Okakura. He wrote architectural section in "The history of the art of Japan" whose Japanese edition was published in 1901. This book was re-edited in 1908 and there Itoh rewrote architectural section and changed recognition of traditional Japanese architecture history in many points. His changes of recognition show the early forming process of the study of Japanese architectural history. So there are very interesting facts.
