〔資 料〕人見東明自筆短冊二種 --影印・翻刻・解題--

Abstract Two extant long strips of paper, A and B, each of which bear a similar tanka poem by Tomei Hitomi(who founded Showa Women\u27s University in 1920), are introduced. Research into the poet\u27s background, analogous expressions found in his other works published during the Meiji and Taisho Periods, handwriting analyses of the two strips, and the name of a lecture course stamped on the reverse side of strip A, reveal that the verse written on strip A was created in 1916. The author notes a vital distinction between the two verses. In A, Hitomi uses ware-wa(I myself). He uses kokoro(mind)in B. The author surmises that the "kokoro" version was written a few years later than "ware-wa" version, and speculates that the poet\u27s initial exuberant spirit has calmed down, and that in shifting to kokoro he is emphasizing the loneliness he then felt

〔資 料〕昭和女子大学光葉博物館所蔵「弁護士の法服」について

Abstract The Koyo Museum of Showa Women\u27s university houses a lawyer\u27s robe and cap tagged "Lawyer\u27s robe and cap used around the 10th year of the Showa Period". This paper introduces images of the garments and records details pertaining to them, explains the history of the Japanese modern court dress, and explores the symbolic function of professional uniforms. In 1890 the Empire of Japan prescribed a law that required judges, public prosecutors, and lawyers to wear uniform court dress while at court. Three years later, in 1893, a Ministry of Justice Ordinance specified the lawyers\u27 robes and caps. The materials owned by the museum are identical with this description. These garments continued to be worn until new rules were made in 1947. Preceding studies have shown that, in designing the original garments, then Minister of Justice Akiyoshi Yamada researched the garments worn in the courts of Western countries that honored the classical style, and that taking this knowledge into account, Mayori Kurokawa, who was well versed in Japanese ancient court practices and a historian of costume, designed garments for Japanese courts. The material of the robe is black with fly front, with white embroidery around the neck and in the front which signify that this was for lawyers, and in the bottom, both sides are pleated offering an example of how oriental and western design are mixed. The black cap is inspired by that of Nara period, a style that originated in the Tang Dynasty in China

世田谷区奥沢の松居邸(1938年築)について --昭和戦前の住宅に関する研究--

Abstract The construction of this two-storied house ultimately owned by Mr. Matsui started around September, 1937 and was completed around February the following year. It had a Western-style room of mortar finish on the side of the entrance door, and the outer wall of the house was clapboarded with traditional bead battens. Such semi-Western houses were common in Setagaya Ward which had developed as a suburban residential area in early Showa period. Interviews with the owner of the house and research into this residence revealed that only the kitchen had been extended over 2 times. The kitchen initially occupied a wooden floor of 1 tsubo(3.3m2). The first extension of the kitchen had been done when the Matsui family moved in, and the new owner extended it to the north side. The arrangement of an 8-mat Japanese-style room on the first floor with Zashikikazari(a set of decorative features such as alcove, staggered wall shelves, built-in desk), the other 8-mat room with an alcove on the second floor, and a drawing room equipped fully with Western-style finishes on the first floor shows that in planning the house the ability to entertain visitors was important. Also the fact that there is no through pillar on the four corners of the second floor supports the conclusion that priority was given to creating a room suitable for entertaining. When the house was built, this area was called "navy village" since many families of naval personnel owned residences there. In most cases the houses were Western-style, one-storied, with exterior walls finished with sidings. Among such low rows of houses, the two-storied Matsui house must have been conspicuous. In the neighborhood of the Matsui residence, we can still see hedges, low stone walls, and other features that contribute to sociability. Certainly the Matsui residence played a great role in preserving the rich green living environment of the neighborhood. The house was demolished in 2014
