| Abstract |
Tadashi Sekino(1868-1935) had visited Korea for researching ancient architecture and historical heritages in Busan, Gyeongju, Hapcheon, Gaeseong and Seoul during 62 days in 1902. After research, he had wrote A Research Report of Korean Architecture at Tokyo Imperial University, which is evaluated very important academic resource to study Korean Architecture in the 1900s. However, the contents such as pictures and descriptions have not been examined until now. Especially, the pictures have been quoted uncritically. Therefore lots of errors which were not verified caused follow-up studies to be confused. This study proved the errors which the pictures of Jungheungsa temple(重興寺), Shinheungsa temple(新興寺, Heungcheonsa 興天寺) and Cheongnyangsa temple(淸凉寺) are inserted erroneously. Besides it is presumed that Tadashi Sekino seemed to use his field-note which had recorded from field survey than pictures to write a report. In conclusion, this study assumed the actual existence and location of Geungnakbojeon(極樂寶殿) in Jungheungsa temple(重興寺) by investigation of the above-mentioned writing method. |
