The purpose of this study is to examine the problems about the theory of architecture, using Japanese classical literature as a text, we have taken up representations of dwelling and have conducted architectural discussions of the aspects of spatial phenomena that appear in texts, while taking the previous research by the so-called Kyoto School of architectural theory, led by Masuda Tomoya. Masuda argues that "A house must first be positioned in its landscape". Tanaka Takashi, Masuda's disciple, applied the word "utsusukoto" to the phenomenon of dwelling, and aimed to open up the phenomenon of "scenery" from a new perspective that included the Oriental theory of the body and mind. In this context, Tanaka took up Saito Mokichi and others.
First in this paper, we would like to begin with the poetry of Tachibana Akemi, a Fukui poet lived at the end of the Edo period, about "dwelling" in own house. Akemi wrote 52 poems titled Dokurakugin, about the joy of living with his family. It can be said that the words in the poems capture the real scenery of the family's poor but peaceful life. We must not overlook the common thread between "dwelling" and "scenery".
Next, we would like to take up Kaidouki, author unknown, a travelogue of Kamakura period. Here, travel is defined as an act of leaving one’s house, and returning to it. The author’s view of dwelling could be outlined in his way of life, through the descriptions of the scenery he saw with his own eyes on the way, and the scenes of people’s lives, as well as through Kaidouki that expresses self-referentiality in the extraordinary place of travel. Even in the midst of a travel, the author’s thought of Miyako as his hometown, his home there, and his family, are a chain of scenery.
Then the third, take up the Haiku of Inoue Seigetsu, who wandered around Shinano at the end of the Edo period. He is said to have come from a samurai, but lost his family in a disaster. He eventually entered Inadani and stayed there for the rest of his life. It is thought that he is adrift not only in the spatial existence of own dwelling, but also in the temporal existence of his life. The word "wandering " is taken to mean the act of drifting away from one’s dwelling, also of moving one’s body and mind. So most of Seigetsu’s poems are written from the outside of the house to the inside, and it can be said that he wrote about the scenery of the house as seen through shoji and windows. There are also a few poems that depict the inside of a house, which must have been a real scene that shows how much he appreciated his home that he could not have.
Three phenomena can be contrasted and placed into "housing/dwelling", "travelling/not-dwelling" and "wandering/non-dwelling". Although we usually consider only "dwelling", but we can point out that the depth of "dwelling" becomes clearer by taking up contrasting phenomena such as "travelling" and "wandering ".
In this paper, we clarify the multidimensional reality of "dwelling" from the perspective of architectural theories of three phenomena, "dwelling", "not-dwelling" and "non-dwelling" in order to comprehensively reveal some aspects of the scenery of dwelling.
