きのう、タイムカプセルという表現を使ったけれど、
現地を探訪し考古資料、展示などに触れ、
それを整理整頓しつつ分析的に時間を過ごしてきて、
時間をはるかに超えて民族のDNAをなまなましく追体験している印象。
このような飛鳥宮のありようを支え現実にしていた民の生き様が
ありありと浮かんでくるように思えるのです。
この時代はまことに波瀾万丈の世紀。
活発に国土の開発が進展し、列島各地域との交易物流も拡大した。
そして白村江海戦へ軍が大動員された。概要は以下。
661年5月第一派遣軍出発。指揮官は安曇比羅夫、狭井檳榔、朴市秦造田来津。
豊璋王を護送する先遣隊で、船舶170余隻、兵力1万余人だった。
第二派：2万7千主力軍。指揮官は上毛野君稚子、巨勢神前臣譯語、阿倍比羅夫。
第三派：1万余人。指揮官は廬原君臣（いおはらのきみおみ）。
北海道に関係する阿倍比羅夫がこちらにも出兵している。
ちなみにかれの北方・粛慎攻撃は658年4月から660年5月にかけて。
越国守であった比羅夫が蝦夷・粛慎征討を行ったと『日本書紀』に記される。
比羅夫は物証として生きているヒグマ2匹とヒグマの皮70枚を献上している。
生態系に津軽海峡のラインは厳にあるので北海道遠征は事実だったと思う。
この時代、北に西に飛鳥の王権は活発な軍事行動を見せている。
中大兄皇子、後の天智天皇の武断的側面が表出したと言えるのだろうか。
そして、白村江への派遣軍の規模は総勢で４万にせまる規模。
人口規模で考えてまことに冒険的で、まさに国家草創の極限的沸騰期。

派遣軍鼓舞に宮廷官女の額田王が有名な檄文とも思える歌を詠んでいる。
「熟田津(にきたつ)に船乗りせむと月待てば潮もかなひぬ今は漕ぎ出でな！」
きっとジャラジャラのハデハデ装飾をまとっていたに違いない（笑）。
まことに激動の時代のクライマックスか。
そして敗戦、その後の国土防衛のため屋嶋城など全国で旺盛な城郭建築。
そしてさらに天智死後672年には壬申の乱という内戦の勃発。

こうした激動の時代を通じて飛鳥はその主要舞台だった。
当然、国のダイナミックな変の続発は旺盛な経済活動をもたらしただろう。
鉄器の生産活動はフル回転だっただろうし、それを支える
各種の経済活動、物流の状況もかつてないほどに盛り上がったに違いない。
戦後復興期の朝鮮戦争特需のように、戦争は活発な産業勃興をもたらす。
橿原考古博物館でのパネル展示のなかのイラストは
考古的物証に踏まえた想像図なのでしょうが、いかにも生き生きとした表現。
こうした経済社会の旺盛な発展が、天武持統の夫婦の時代に至って
飛鳥の地では面積的にも王権活動に手狭になっていったのでしょう。
結果、藤原京、平城京とより広い王権の宮城が必要となった。
白村江の敗戦以降、旧百済の権力機構の中核人材が日本に帰化して
より強大な王権機構が整ってもいったことも関係しているのか。
国のまほろば、日本統一王権の揺籃地、スタート地点が飛鳥。
時代の探訪ブログとしてはいったんここで休止しますが、
これからもライフワーク的に飛鳥のことは思い続けたい、
まるでぞっこん、恋い焦がれるような心境（笑）であります。

Nara and Asuka: A Period of Economic Upheaval
The dispatch of troops to Hokkaido, the Battle of Hakumurage, and the civil war during the Jinshin Rebellion. It was truly a boiling crucible of the times. The economy must have been booming as well. The economy must have been booming.

Yesterday, I used the expression “time capsule.
I have spent time analytically, organizing and organizing the archaeological materials and exhibits
I have spent time analytically, organizing and organizing them, and I have the impression that I am reliving the DNA of the people far beyond time.
I have the impression that I am vividly reliving the DNA of a people far beyond time.
I feel as if the way of life of the people who supported the Asuka Palace and made it a reality
The people’s way of life that supported and actualized the Asuka Palace seems to float vividly in my mind.
This was a truly tumultuous century.
The development of the country was vigorous, and trade and logistics with the various regions of the archipelago expanded.
Then, the army was mobilized to fight in the Battle of Hakuchon River. A summary is as follows.
In May 661, the first group of Japanese troops departed. The commanders were Azumi Hirao, Sayi Betelang, and Pak Shi Qinzou Tada Raizu.
It was an advance party to escort King Toyohzhang, with over 170 vessels and a force of over 10,000 men.
The second group: 27,000 men. The main force of the army. The commanders were Jomo-no-kun-chiko, Geo-sesagami-mae-sin Tsugyo, and Abenohirao.
Abenohirau, who is related to Hokkaido, also went to war here.
Incidentally, his attack on Sukushin in the northern part of Japan took place from April 658 to May 660.
The Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan) records that Hirao, the governor of Koshi Province, carried out the conquest of the Emishi and Sukushin.
As evidence, Hirao offered two live brown bears and 70 brown bear skins.
Since the line of the Tsugaru Straits is strictly in the ecosystem, I think the expedition to Hokkaido was a fact.
In this period, the royal power of Asuka showed active military activities to the north and west.
Could it be said that the military aspect of Emperor Nakataiohito, later Emperor Tenchi, came to the surface?The size of the army dispatched to the Hakumura River was close to 40,000 in total.
Considering the size of the population, this was a truly adventurous and extreme period of national pioneering.
To inspire the dispatched army, the courtesan Nukata-no-ou recited what might be considered a famous proclamation.
Wait for the moon, wait for the tide, row out now!
He must have been wearing a lot of fancy jewelry (laughs).
The climax of a truly turbulent era.
After the defeat in the war, castle construction was vigorous throughout the country, including Yashima Castle, for the defense of the land.
Then, in 672, after the death of Tenchi, a civil war called the Jinshin Rebellion broke out.
Throughout these turbulent times, Asuka was a major stage.
Naturally, the country’s dynamic succession of changes would have resulted in vigorous economic activity.
The production of ironware would have been in full swing, and the various economic activities and logistics that supported it would have been unprecedentedly active.
The various economic activities and logistics conditions that supported them must have been booming like never before.
Like the Korean War special procurement during the postwar reconstruction period, war brought about a vigorous industrial upsurge.
Illustrations in the panel exhibition at the Archaeological Museum of Kashihara, Nara, Nara Prefecture
The illustrations in the panel exhibit at the Kashihara Museum of Archaeology are probably imaginary drawings based on archaeological evidence, but they are very vivid expressions.
This vigorous development of the economy and society led to the period of the couple, Ammu and Mochito, who were the first kings of Asuka in terms of area.
The Asuka area must have become too small in terms of area for royal activities.
As a result, the Fujiwara-kyo and Heijo-kyo Capital and a more spacious royal palace became necessary.
After the defeat at the Hakumura River, the core personnel of the former Baekje power structure were naturalized in Japan, and
This may have had something to do with the establishment of a more powerful royal authority.
Asuka was the cradle of the unification of Japanese royalty and the starting point for the Mahoroba of the country.
I will pause here for a moment as a blog about the exploration of the period, but I will keep Asuka as my lifework.
I would like to continue to think about Asuka as my lifework.
It is as if I am in love with Asuka and longing for her.

「噴水」という言葉の定義はわからない。この石器構造物のことを
「流水装置」というようにも言えるのかも知れない。
日本の「噴水」始原については金沢兼六園まで時代が下るという説もある。
しかし最近2019年段階で橿原考古研究所が結論づけた飛鳥京苑池での
写真の導水装置システムは日本の噴水事始めと言ってもいいのではないか。
橿原考古研究所（正式名は奈良県立橿原考古学研究所）の以下のような紹介が
この古代施設についての意義を語っていると思う。
〜飛鳥の宮殿に隣接する「苑池」は規模も大きく、びっしりと石が
敷き詰められていてその迫力に驚かされます。
中国や朝鮮半島にもまったく同じタイプの苑池は見つかっておらず、
飛鳥時代の日本のあり方を物語る「苑池」の全容を見ることができます。〜
逆に言うとなぜその後、日本国内でこうした苑池・噴水装置が
建築技術として旺盛にならなかったのか、それも要探究だと思われる。
現状ではきわめて特異な遺構として古代史上に出現したというところ。

この苑池の南側の池は水深は30cm程度ということで、
底面にはびっしりと石が敷き詰められてプール状外観を形成している。
そこにこのような導水装置があって、単純に涼を楽しむとしたのか、
わたしの推測のように「水を扱う」技術力を象徴的に見せたのか、
その目的について現状では証言・記録は存在しない。
国際関係に否応なく目覚めさせられた段階の日本国、
白村江敗戦以降の国際情勢下での「外交」の場面を考えれば
日本の技術国力を示すことは一種の「侵略抑止力」だったのだろう。
やはり中国・朝鮮に類例がないというのがミソではないかと。
かの国などからの外交使節が帰国後の本国での報告時に
「日本にはこういう技術がありましたが・・・」と伝わったことだろう。

石をさまざまに加工利用して水を自由自在に扱う建築土木技術に対して
それが全国で城塞建築に応用されると考えれば、
この国を大軍船団で攻略したとしても侵略の勝利を見通せなかっただろう。
やや無謀だったと思える百済救援のための白村江への出兵後の
安全保障戦略としてこの苑池は外交の「武器」になった可能性。
きのうは石材の切石加工技術を見たけれど、この苑池でも
北池底面には写真のように切石でより精緻な石材加工も施されている。
わたしとしては日本の平和共存外交戦略の一環だと強く思えるのです。
そしてそうした観点からすれば唐が日本侵略を諦め、友好関係に転じて
「日本国号・天皇号」を結果的に承認していった東アジア世界の情勢と
重ね合わせられるように思えるのです。
その平和努力が実を結んでその後、苑池造作技術は重要性が低下し、
戦国期以降の兼六園まで顧みられなかった歴史と符合する。

火山列島国土で水田耕作を基本にする国土条件では
必然的に狭い利用可能耕地面積を高める土木建築技術の発展が自明。
やはりこの苑池遺構からはこのような推論が導き出されると思う。
さて現代世界でプーチンのような狂乱独裁者に対してどう国防すべきか、
日本社会の「強さ」が試される事態が再来してもいるのでしょう。

The True Meaning of the Asukakyo “Fountain” Exploring Asuka, Nara – 9
The Asuka-kyo Palace was a place for the Japanese to show off their national defense capabilities by demonstrating to China and Korea that they possessed “dangerous civil engineering and architectural technology. Japanese power that can be converted to military force. The Japanese power that can be converted to military force.

I don’t know the definition of the word “fountain.” I am not sure if this stoneware structure can be called a “fountain.
The origin of fountains in Japan can be traced back to Kanazawa Kenrokuen Garden.
There is a theory that the origin of “fountains” in Japan dates back to the Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa.
However, as of 2019, the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara recently concluded that the Asuka Kyoen Pond
The water conducting system in the photo may be said to be the beginning of fountains in Japan.The following introduction by the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara Prefecture (formally known as the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara Prefecture)
I think it speaks volumes about the significance of this ancient facility.
〜The “Garden Pond” adjacent to the Asuka Palace is large in scale and is paved with stones.
The “Garden Pond” adjacent to the Asuka Palace is large in scale and filled with stones, and its power is astonishing.
No other garden ponds of exactly the same type have been found in China or the Korean peninsula.
The entirety of the garden pond, which tells the story of Japan in the Asuka period, can be seen here. ~.Conversely, why were garden ponds and fountains not actively used as a building technology in Japan after that?
It is also important to investigate why these garden ponds and fountains did not flourish as a building technology in Japan after that.
At present, they appear in ancient history as extremely unique remains.
The pond on the south side of this garden pond is about 30 cm deep.
The bottom of the pond is covered with stones to form a pool-like appearance.
Is it simply to enjoy the coolness of the water with a water conducting device like this?
Or, as I guessed, was it to symbolically show the technical skill of “handling water”?
There is currently no testimony or record of its purpose.Japan was at the stage where it was forced to wake up to international relations.
Considering the “diplomatic” scene under the international situation after the defeat at the Hakuchon River
Japan’s demonstration of its technological national strength was probably a kind of “deterrent force against invasion.
The fact that there is no precedent in China or Korea is the key.
When diplomatic envoys from other countries reported back to their home countries after returning to Japan, they would say, “Japan had this kind of technology….
When diplomatic envoys from those countries reported back to their home countries, they would have been told that “Japan had this kind of technology.
For architectural and civil engineering techniques that process and utilize stone in a variety of ways and handle water at will.
If one thinks of it being applied to fortress construction throughout the country.
Even if they had invaded this country with a large fleet of warships, they would not have been able to foresee victory in the invasion.
After the somewhat reckless expedition to the Baekchon River to rescue Baekje
This Enchonji could have been a diplomatic “weapon” as a security strategy.
Yesterday, we saw the stone quarrying technique.
The bottom of the north pond is also made of hewn stone, as shown in the photo.
I strongly believe that this is part of Japan’s diplomatic strategy of peaceful coexistence.And from such a point of view, it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty gave up its aggression against Japan and turned to friendly relations with Japan.
and the situation in East Asia, where the Tang Dynasty gave up invading Japan, turned to friendly relations, and eventually approved the “Japanese name and Emperor”.
The Tang Dynasty gave up its aggression against Japan and turned to friendly relations with Japan, and eventually approved the “Japanese name” and “Emperor of Japan.
After the peace efforts bore fruit, the importance of the garden pond construction technique declined, and the garden was not restored until the Kenrokuen Garden after the Sengoku Period.
This is consistent with the history of Kenrokuen Garden, which was neglected from the Warring States period onward.

In a volcanic archipelago where rice paddy cultivation is the basic land condition
It is obvious that the development of civil engineering and architectural technology to increase the usable arable land area is inevitable.
I believe that this is the inference that can be drawn from the remains of the garden pond.
How should we defend ourselves against a mad dictator like Vladimir Putin in the modern world?
The “strength” of Japanese society may be put to the test once again.

飛鳥板蓋宮、浄御原宮の時代というのは文字記録が少ない。
聖徳太子の摂政としての治政時代ころになって仏教導入も積極化。
大阪四天王寺・法隆寺の建立など東アジア世界での政治・文化交流が活性化。
国際関係というものが徐々に喫緊の課題になっていった。
それは中国大陸の「易姓革命」政治動乱によって歴代有数の強権国家・唐が成立。
周辺に大きな脅威となっていったことが刺激になったものと思える。
それまでの「大王権力」によるゆるやかな「日本的」統治権力構造が
強い外圧に直面して、よりハードな国家権力形態を志向させたと思う。
唐が導入した国家権力機構の「律令体制」を導入するとともに
その権力機能を「天皇号」としてより中央集権制を高めたのだと思える。
壬申の乱によって権力を掌握した天武天皇はそれまでの「倭国」を
日本という国号に改め、中国皇帝権力ひいては東アジア世界に承認させている。
この外交は、先人たちの大きな知恵の産物だったように思います。
よく中華皇帝が「日のいずる国」という国家名を認めたと思う。
聖徳太子段階でこの自己表現で対手「日沈む国」の帝に外交国書を出している。
中国皇帝が怒ったという記述はあるけれど結局は承認している。
「むむむ、日沈むとは無礼千万ではないか、われは中華皇帝なるぞ」
「いやそれは単に事実としての地理位置関係を示したものに過ぎませんよ」
尊大極まる中国皇帝体制相手に複雑精緻な外交努力があったに違いない。
そして図表は橿原考古博物館展示パネルからですが、
よく言われるように朝鮮半島地域には多数の「古墳」遺跡が存在する。
日本国内では農業と武器生産の最重要資源である鉄鉱石の産出が
ある時期までなかったことで、朝鮮半島地域での「権益」が広範に存在した。
中国との外交で繰り返し日本がその権益を主張し承認させようと努力したのは
そういった事情がもっとも重大だったのでしょう。
したがって朝鮮半島の諸国家・新羅と百済との対立では
百済が日本側の権益を象徴する存在だったということなのでしょう。
古墳の分布にはそのような関係性が表現されていると思える。
このあたりは現代での国際的歴史学論議でも日韓対立のネタになるという。
近いと言うことは外交として難しい問題にもなる事例といえる。
聞くところでは韓国内では古墳が古い時代の日本との関係を象徴するとして
破却するような動きもあるのだと側聞する。悩ましい問題。

一方で民人の暮らしようも、向上する生産力を反映して
地域間交易の拡大が旺盛に盛り上がっていって
その事情から集住する商業的実質の発展、「都市建設」があったのでしょう。
飛鳥宮という「首都機能」での交易の側面の進化発展があったことは疑いない。
たぶんこうした事情からやがて飛鳥の「狭さ」が問題になっていって
その根本的解決として計画的都市建設、平城京段階に移行した。
政治軍事的事情よりも交易の拡大、経済規模の拡大が
こうした首都移転を必然化させたのだろうと思います。

International Relations and Life in the Asuka Palace Period: Exploring Asuka, Nara – 7
International relations” diplomacy began in parallel with social development and economic expansion. The beginning of troublesome international relations among neighboring East Asian countries. The beginning of troublesome international relations among East Asian neighbors.
There are few written records of the Asuka Itabatamiya and Jomihara Palace periods.
Around the time of Prince Shotoku’s regency, Buddhism was actively introduced.
Political and cultural exchanges in East Asia were revitalized with the construction of Shitennoji Temple and Horyuji Temple in Osaka.
International relations gradually became an urgent issue.
The political upheaval of the “Yi Surname Revolution” on the Chinese mainland led to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful states of all time, which posed a major threat to the surrounding region.
This was probably stimulated by the fact that the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful states of all time, had become a major threat to its neighbors.
The loose “Japanese-style” governing power structure based on the “great king’s power” that had been in place up to that time
In the face of strong external pressure, I believe that the Tang Dynasty was forced to adopt a more rigid form of state power.
The “Ritsuryo system” of state power structure introduced by the Tang Dynasty was introduced.
The “Ritsuryo system” of state power structure introduced by the Tang Dynasty was introduced, and its power function was made more centralized as the “Emperor-Governor”.
Emperor Temmu, who seized power through the Jinshin Rebellion, changed the name of his country, “Japan,” from “Wa-koku” to “Japa-no-kuni.
Japan” and had it recognized by the power of the Chinese emperor and by extension, the East Asian world.
This diplomacy seems to have been a product of the great wisdom of his predecessors.
I often think that the Chinese emperor recognized the name of the nation as “Land of the Rising Sun.
At the Prince Shotoku stage, this self-expression was used to issue a diplomatic state letter to the emperor of his counterpart “Land of the Setting Sun”.
Although there is a description of the Chinese emperor’s anger, in the end he approved of it.
The Emperor of China is the one who is the Emperor of China.
No, that is merely a factual geographical location.
There must have been a complex and elaborate diplomatic effort to deal with the extremely pompous Chinese imperial regime.
And here is a chart from an exhibit panel at the Archaeological Museum of Kashihara
As is often said, there are numerous “kofun” sites in the Korean peninsula area.
In Japan, the production of iron ore, the most important resource for agriculture and weapons production
Japan’s “interests” in the Korean Peninsula were extensive due to the fact that it did not produce iron ore, the most important resource for agriculture and weapons production, until a certain period of time.
Japan’s repeated efforts to assert and gain recognition of its interests in the region in its diplomatic relations with China
Such circumstances were probably the most critical.
Thus, in the conflict between the Korean states of Silla and Baekje
Baekje probably represented the interests of Japan.
The distribution of kofun tumuli seems to express such a relationship.
This area is said to be a source of conflict between Japan and Korea even in international historiographical discussions in modern times.
This is an example of how proximity can be a difficult diplomatic issue.
Some people in South Korea have begun to dismiss kofun tombs as symbolic of Japan’s relationship with Korea in the olden days.
I have heard that there is a movement in Korea to destroy the tombs because they symbolize the relationship with Japan in the old days. This is a troubling issue.
Meanwhile, the way of life of the people also reflected their increasing productivity
The expansion of inter-regional trade was vigorously growing.
This situation may have led to the development of commercial substance and “city building” in which people gathered and settled.
There is no doubt that there was an evolution and development of the aspect of trade in the “capital function” of Asuka Palace.
Probably because of these circumstances, Asuka’s “smallness” eventually became a problem.
As a fundamental solution to this problem, the planned construction of the city shifted to the Heijo-kyo stage.
The expansion of trade and economic scale, rather than political and military circumstances, made the relocation of the capital
I think that the expansion of trade and economic scale, rather than political and military circumstances, made the relocation of the capital inevitable.

人間生存の基本は水。
この飛鳥の都でも多くの人が参集・住居するのにまずは水道施設がキモ。
山岳地形の日本での人類生存、文化発展を考えたら
目に見える河川と同時に豊富な地下伏流水利用も活発だっただろう。
山岳には豊かな保水機能があり、それが多様な伏流水を形成する。
この列島に石器時代に暮らし始めた人類にとって
湧き水の発見とか、水の脈絡を探究し利用する知識は
想像をはるかに超える知的蓄積だったに違いないと思っています。
飛鳥の都地域でも地下伏流水と河川水の両方を利用して
「苑池」を土木工事する技術はすばらしい痕跡を見せている。
近現代では確立された水道知識が常識化し人類本来の水の知恵への気付きが
減衰している現代人は、きっと想像力も鈍磨しているのでしょう。
とくにこの飛鳥京の段階まで来ると「都市建設」という
権力が必要とする人工的な集住環境構築が求められるようになる。
水田耕作という弥生以来の生産様式は必然的に水資源管理が不可欠。
この生産様式の出自は東アジア、揚子江流域地域に淵源を求める説が
優勢とされていますが、それがこの日本列島に伝播してきたとき、
独特の大発展を見せたに違いないと想像しております。
というのは、この火山列島では山岳の保水力がハンパなく
土木工事で水脈をコントロールする技術が急発展したと思えるのです。
日本の土木技術はその後の国内戦争での発展ぶりを見ればあきらか。
武田信玄の「穴掘り衆」秀吉段階の土木工事による戦争などが象徴的。

この飛鳥京の考古発掘を展示している橿原考古博物館でも
まさに正鵠を穿つようにこうした「水」管理の状況展示が示されている。
山岳地形の国土でかつ降雨の多い気候条件下では優良な木質資源が得られる。
更新生命力も非常に高いことから「木を扱う」技術も発展した。
日本の住宅が木造が伝統的に優勢で住文化の基本になっていることも
こういった背景条件からと言えるのでしょう。
上の写真では地下伏流水を組み上げる井戸に使われた大口径木材と
それがみごとに「くり抜かれて」利用されていた様子がわかる。
列島各地で分散的に水田・ムラ開発されていた段階から、この飛鳥京では
都城建設という新段階にまで社会が進化発展してきた。

上の写真は樋菅という導水装置で大木が利用されている。
水源管理のための計画的土木建設作業がより大規模に展開した。
水道としては石材加工と平行的に大径木も大いに利用された、というか、
どちらかといえば木工事部分の方が多用されていたに違いない。
この飛鳥京の段階から次の法隆寺、平城京段階になるとさらに都城の規模は
旺盛に拡大発展していくことになる。
奈良の都建設段階では仏教寺院の建設ラッシュなどで
周辺の山岳自然林の利用許容限界にまで至ったと想像されている。
水の管理って、歴史を動かす「底流」のようなものと感じられます。

Asuka-kyo Waterworks “Gutters and Wells” Exploration of Asuka, Nara – 5
The Japanese archipelago, with its humid temperate climate and mountainous terrain, also has highly renewable wood resources. Paddy field development developed water vein exploration and civil engineering techniques. ・・・・.

Water is fundamental to human survival.
Even in the Asuka capital, water supply facilities are the key for many people to gather and live in.
In Japan, with its mountainous terrain, the survival of mankind and the development of culture are of paramount importance.
The use of visible rivers as well as abundant underground subterranean water would have been active.
Mountains have a rich water retention function, which forms a variety of subterranean waters.
For humans who began living in this archipelago in the Stone Age
The discovery of spring water and the knowledge to explore and use water veins
I believe it must have been an intellectual accumulation far beyond imagination.
Even in the Asuka capital area, both underground subsoil water and river water were used
The technique of civil engineering the “garden pond” shows wonderful traces.
In modern times, the established knowledge of water supply has become common knowledge, and people’s awareness of the original wisdom of water
Modern people, whose imaginations have been waning, must have dulled as well.
Especially when it comes to the Asuka-kyo stage, the “city construction
The construction of an artificial living environment required by the power of the people is required.
Water resource management is essential for paddy field cultivation, a production method that has been practiced since the Yayoi period.
The origin of this mode of production is believed to have originated in East Asia, in the Yangtze River basin region.
When it spread to the Japanese archipelago, it is said to be the predominant
I imagine that this must have been a unique and significant development.
This is because the water retention capacity of the mountains in this volcanic archipelago is so great that it is difficult for the mountains to retain water.
It seems to me that the technology to control water veins through civil engineering work developed rapidly.
The development of Japanese civil engineering technology is evident in the subsequent domestic wars.
The “hole diggers” of Shingen Takeda and the wars caused by civil engineering works during the Hideyoshi stage are symbolic.

The Archaeological Museum of Kashihara, which exhibits the archaeological excavation of the Asuka-kyo Palace, is also a good example of the development of civil engineering technology.
This is exactly the kind of “water” management situation that hits the nail on the head.
The mountainous terrain and rainy climatic conditions provide excellent woody resources.
The renewal vitality is also very high, which has led to the development of “tree-handling” techniques.
The fact that wood construction has traditionally been the predominant type of housing in Japan and has become the basis of Japanese housing culture
This is the reason for the background conditions.
In the photo above, you can see the large-diameter timbers used for the wells that bring up underground subterranean water, and
The way it was “hollowed out” and utilized can be seen.
The Asuka-kyo capital was developed from the stage of dispersed development of rice paddies and mura (rice fields) in various parts of the archipelago.
Society has evolved and developed to a new stage of capital city construction.

The photo above shows a water conduit called a flume, which utilizes large trees.
Planned civil construction work for water source management developed on a larger scale.
Large-diameter trees were also used in the water supply system in parallel with stone work, or rather
If anything, the woodwork portion must have been used more extensively.
From the Asuka-kyo stage to the Horyu-ji and Heijo-kyo stages, the scale of the capital city increased even more.
The development of the city was vigorously expanded and developed.
During the construction phase of the Nara capital, the rush to build Buddhist temples and other structures
It is imagined that the use of the surrounding natural mountain forests reached its limits of tolerance.
Water management is felt to be a kind of “undercurrent” that drives history.

高松塚古墳壁画の発見は1972年のこと。
写真は橿原考古博物館展示パネルの写真をPhotoshopで自分で加工した。
わたしは当時20才という若い男性であり描かれた宮廷女子に独特の感情を持った。
なんというか、自分がこの時代に生きていれば単純にステキだと
強い感情移入を持っただろう、はるかな時代の女優のポートレートかと。
発見当時の社会の驚き感はいまでも鮮明に体感記憶がある。
古墳壁画というものがどのような社会的存在だったか、
それはひとつの「メディア」であってそこに社会的専業者、芸術者の存在も
はるかに強い実感とともにわかる。
と同時に、それらの人々もまた描かれた対象の女性たちに対し
強い感情を持っていただろうことも容易に伝わってきた（笑）。
レオナルド・ダ・ヴィンチが描いたモナリザよりも日本男子としては
はるかに強いこだわり感と愛惜とを自然に持つ対象だと。
きっとDNAに刷り込まれた純粋なエロスの世界がそこにあって、
時代をはるかに超越して魅了されたのでしょう。
こうした女子たちがひとつの時代を彩っていたに違いないと思わされた。
最新の研究としてはこの壁画制作年代は藤原京期694年ー710年の間だと確定。
まさに飛鳥板蓋宮の時代の空気感を伝えるものなのだと思う。

こういった女子が描かれたということは、
背景としての社会のダイナミズムを強く感じさせてくれる。
いまとなってはのどかな田園風景が表面を被覆しているけれど、
社会の躍動、人々の生きるための戦いがこの地で旺盛に展開していた。
万葉の歌人たちの恋の歌というのは具体的にこのような女性たちが
その対象にされていたというリアリズムが身体感覚でわかる。
一方でそうした社会では日常的に戦いもあり、
戦乱による廃墟痕跡なども発掘されてきているという。
そういったリアリティを伝えるジオラマ群をみるとまざまざとした実感。
こういう1400-1500年前の社会実相が現代に復元されている。
なんとなく土俗的な祭礼風景のジオラマ展示からは
日本人社会とまつり、ということの意味合いが伝わってもくる。
こういったシンクロ可能な世界が奈良・飛鳥には現代でも実在している。
なかなか頻繁に行けない地理条件ではあるけれど、
異邦人とも思える北方の居住人間としては研ぎ澄まされた出会い感が強い。
日常的に接することができる地域の人とはまた違った感覚でしょうか。
日本人であることが喜ばしく思われる。
気候風土的に多様性を持ちつつ、同じ体内感覚を共有できる。
そのことで相互に学び合う強い絆が生まれるのだとも思う次第です。

Asuka Beauty” Takamatsuzuka Kofun Tumulus Beyond the Mona Lisa Exploring Asuka, Nara – 3
The depiction of a beauty that makes one’s DNA rejoice, and a sense of vitality that transcends the passage of more than 1,400 years. …

The discovery of the Takamatsuzuka burial mound wall paintings was made in 1972.
The photograph was taken from an exhibition panel at the Archaeological Museum of Kashihara, Nara, and processed by myself in Photoshop.
I was a young man of 20 years old at the time, and I had unique feelings toward the courtesans depicted in the mural.
If I had been alive at that time, I would have thought they were simply lovely.
I thought they were portraits of actresses from a much earlier era, to which I would have had a strong emotional attachment.
I still have vivid memories of the sense of amazement that society felt at the time of the discovery.
I still remember vividly how surprised society was at the time of the discovery of the tomb murals.
It is a “medium”, in which the existence of social professionals and artists
The “real” feeling is much stronger than the “real” feeling of the “real.
At the same time, these people also have a much stronger sense of the women depicted.
It is easy to see that they must have had strong feelings for each other (laughs).
As a Japanese boy, I feel more strongly about the Mona Lisa than I did about the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
The object of my obsession and love for it is a natural object for me.
I am sure that there is a world of pure Eros imprinted in our DNA
They must have been fascinated, far transcending their time.
It seemed to me that these girls must have colored a single era.
According to the latest research, the date of creation of this mural painting is between 694 and 710, the period of the Fujiwara-kyo capital.
It is a very good indication of the atmosphere of the Asuka Itabatagu Palace period.

The fact that these girls were painted means that
It gives a strong sense of social dynamism as a background.
Although today, the surface is covered by an idyllic rural landscape
Social dynamism and people’s struggle to survive were vigorously developing in this region.
The love poems of the Manyo poets are specifically about such women.
The realism of the subject can be understood through the physical senses.
On the other hand, in such a society, there were battles on a daily basis.
The ruins of war-torn areas have also been unearthed.
The dioramas that show such reality are a vivid reminder of the reality.
The social reality of 1,400 to 1,500 years ago has been restored to the present day.
The diorama exhibition of a somewhat earthly festival scene
It also conveys the significance of Japanese society and matsuri.
This kind of synchronized world exists in Nara and Asuka even today.
Although it is not easy to visit Nara and Asuka, the geographical conditions are such that it is not easy to go there frequently.
As a person living in the north, who can be considered a gentile, I have a strong sense of sharpened encounter.
It is a different feeling from that of people in other regions with whom I have daily contact.
It seems a delight to be Japanese.
We can share the same internal senses while being diverse in terms of climate and climate.
I also believe that this creates a strong bond where we can learn from each other.
