Description

In this article, we examine a semantic content of 'ISHO(意匠)' in the early to middle of the Meiji era, verifying usage of words in descriptions of fine and applied art. Yuichi Takahashi used 'ISHO' as 'making conception and considering composition of paintings'. In some reviews about expositions, it was used as a synonym of 'KO-AN(考案)'. In order to express 'appearance of articles', 'KEIBO(形貌)' or 'GAIYO(外容)' was used on reviews the displays in South Kensington museum and Vienna world exposition in the official report of Iwakura Mission, written by Kunitake Kume. Around 20th year of Meiji era, 'design' was translated to 'KO-AN' and 'ISHO' that both words meant 'idea'. In those days, 'ISHO' did not imply the meaning of 'combination of shape, colour and pattern'. It was mainly used the meanig of 'idea'.
