Abstract
Many kinds of components, materials and building systems are turning according to the changes of building systems by several reasons. However, the changes of ordinary components are rarely recorded in detail. In this study, we grasped the outline of development of roofs made of cement or asphalt, and slate. At first, natural slate and asbestos cement slates were imported for European-style buildings. After that, they became to be produced in Japan and spread. Asphalt shingles, being used widely in North America, gradually decreased in Japan, because they weren't non-combustible materials under the Japanese law.
