Abstract
This paper intends to clarify the evolution of wooden framing systems in Westernstyle schools during the Meiji and Taisho periods. At the beginning of Meiji, framing was irregular as some columns were placed based on window position as well as the traditional module. In the middle of Meiji, two framing systems co-existed : one based on window arrangement and the other based on the traditional module. From late Meiji, the width of windows was neither determined by the frame arrangement nor the traditional module. This transformation reveals the process of standardization within wooden-frame schools in terms of columns and windows arrangement.
