A unique style of depiction of architecture used in Yamato-e paintings. Roofs and ceilings are removed, and sometimes even room partitions are omitted, to depict the interior from an overhead perspective. This allows a large space to be used to depict people and other interior features. It is believed to be a technique unique to Japan, and its earliest example can be found in the 1069 (Enkyu 1) "Eden Shoji-e of Prince Shotoku" (Tokyo National Museum), and has since been used extensively in various works, including picture scrolls.

大和(やまと)絵において用いられた特殊な建築描写。屋根や天井を取り除き、ときには室の仕切りも省略して、斜め上から俯瞰(ふかん)的に屋内を描く手法。したがって、人物をはじめとする室内の描写に、広いスペースをあてることができる。日本独自の手法と推定され、そのもっとも早い例は1069年(延久1)の『聖徳太子絵伝障子絵』(東京国立博物館)のなかにみられ、以後、絵巻をはじめとするさまざまな作品に盛んに使用されている。 [加藤悦子] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
