Abstract
This study is to analyze the structure of the picturescroll of Kasuga Gongen Genki. As it is not limited to thispicture scroll, it is pointed out that depicted buildingfrom this time period are realistically drawn on otherscrolls. At first glance, the buildings which providesimilar impressions seemed to be drawn with the samecomposition, but the screen constitution was done indetail in order to avoid a monotonous impression madeto the viewer. There is a relationship in the style of theexpression of them and the eyes of the viewer appreciatingit. Furthermore, using a model of the depiction ofthe building on the picture scrolls, I researched thecharacteristics of the representation method of atraditional building by the technique of graphic science.It can be said that one of the reasons looks similar is theoblique direction of the drawn buildings are quite narrow.This study suggests that they were arranged in thedifferent location in each screen.
