This study aims to clarify the transition of a “roof garden” before the World War II from the viewpoint of Kansei philosophy. We discuss the import of the European roof garden in Japanese Modern architecture and its transition. In this study, we adopt the following five indexes: “use,” “building types,” “material,” “structure,” and “location” using several architectural journals, which were issued before the war. As a result, the import of the roof garden in Japanese Modern architecture is a transition process from a commercial to a domestic garden. Such a process indicates the continuity of Kansei concerning the “view” in the traditional Japanese garden.
