Abstract

The principal tower of Nagoya Castle was repaired on a large scale from 1752 to 1755. Based on historical materials regarding this repair, this paper evaluates and analyzes the repair of all sections except the erection of the principle tower and the repair of the attached buildings in the castle that were brought about by repairing the principle tower. In the principle tower the dismantled lumber was repaired and reassembled and the materials for the roof were changed from clay to copper. Repainting the walls and building new windows and repairing the windows were completed. This paper discusses the concrete ways in which these works were accomplished.
