Abstract

The Tokugawa Syogunate constructed buildings richly decorated with carves, and temples and shrines in the Kanto district also often had carves. In many cases, the carvers engaged in constructing the buildings of the Tokugawa Syogunate. This study deals with the carvers who belonged to the Tokugawa Syogunate. The major clarified factors are written as following. There were two families named Izumi and Takamatsu in the position as master-carver. The Izumis was from Senshu in the Kansai district and the Takamatsus was from the Kanto district. Date of the Izumis activities is from the 3rd years of the Genroku (1690) to the end of the Edo era. Date of the Takamatsus activities is from the 5th years of Genroku (1692) to the 3rd years of Meiwa (1766). The master-carver was on a level with the carpenter named 'daiku-toryo'.
