CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDINGS AND LOCATIONS OF KYOTO HAND-PAINTED YUZEN WORKSHOPS

This paper aims to clarify the characteristics of buildings and locations associated with Kyoto hand-painted Yuzen workshops. Through field surveys and analysis of 72 workshops, the following results were obtained. The workshops exhibit a range of building types, from traditional Machiya to modern structures, with a predominant combination of workplace and residence within small-scale buildings, except for some occupational workshops. The diversity in building types increased after 1960. Initially located in the old town in 1945, the workshops progressively expanded beyond this area. The spatial distribution of these workshops was primarily influenced by the transportation time between workshops.
