ABSTRACT

In machiya architecture, a mise is a room between the street front and house’s inner area for commercial use. Between the mise and street front, front fittings, such as shutters, sliding doors and lattice-work are fixed, and the eaves are extended to cover the outside of the mise. This paper surveys seventeenth-century townhouses with a focus on the spatial relationship among the mise, doma, and street front. It confirms that, between the mise and street front, the combination of lattice-work and sliding doors transformed the use of sliding doors or wooden shutters. Additionally, the height of the fittings and depth of the front eaves gradually increased with time. This tendency was also observed in the relationship between the mise and doma. In the mid-seventeenth century, doors were fixed in tsukidome-mizo to separate the mise from the doma; however, in the late seventeenth century, the doors were fixed in hikichigai-mizo, which enabled free access from the doma. When viewed from the street front and doma, the spatial relationship of the mise changed from a closed to an open structure. This architectural transformation possibly reflected a social change in the seventeenth century, when federal governance was established after a long warring period.

摘要

在町家建筑中，mise是位于街道前部和房屋内部区域之间的用于商业用途的房间。在大厅和街道正面之间，前部的配件，如百叶窗、推拉门和格子架是固定的，屋檐延伸到外面。本文调查了 17 世纪的联排别墅，重点关注米塞、多玛和街道前部之间的空间关系。它证实了，在mise之间在街道前面，格子和推拉门的组合改变了推拉门或木制百叶窗的使用。此外，随着时间的推移，配件的高度和前檐的深度逐渐增加。在mise和doma的关系中也观察到了这种趋势。在 17 世纪中叶，在月居沟内固定了门，以将Mise与Doma分开；然而，在 17 世纪后期，门被固定在hikichigai-mizo，这使得从doma可以自由进入。从街道正面和doma看， mise的空间关系由封闭结构转变为开放结构。这种建筑转变可能反映了 17 世纪的社会变革，当时联邦治理在长期战乱后建立。
