Abstract
In this research, we aim to clarify the comprehension and yearning of upper class on Shindenzukuri through the images of "Narrative picture scroll of the Tale of Ise" drawn by Sumiyoshi Jokei in the 17th century. This scroll collected in the Tokyo National Museum was drawn in 1663-1670 and owned by Fushiminomiya Akiko who was the consort of the fourth Shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna. We found that two types of the architectural images were intermixed in this picture scroll: one is Syoinzukuri style of that time (early modern era), the other is Shindenzukuri revival style of the Heian era. The upper class of the 17th century had understood Shidenzukuri as an image of the fantasy created by the Imperial court culture at that time and there was no historical understanding. However, the Imperial palace in the Heian era was presented in detail in this picture scroll.
