문화적 관점에서 본 일본 사찰순례(寺刹巡禮)의 의미와 건축적 함의에 관한 연구

Abstract

Hachijuhatkashomeguri(visits to 88 typical Budhists Temples), the typical Japanese Temple Pilgrimage, attempts to consider the cases related to the temple and its architectural features. Moreover, through the succession, preservation, and protection of the regional legacy, the sociocultural relationship and position, and architectural implications of temple architecture will be researched as well. Shikokuhenro provides storytelling sources due to the fact that it follows the accession of the Cobodaisi footsteps, and through each temple and its history, derivation, and the related tales. As the preservation and maintenance of the region's traditional temples are being practiced, the temple becomes linked to tourist commodification which stimulates the revitalization of the region's economy. It could be said that the way Shikokuhenro produces the value and unique architecture culture is quite significant. And therefore, the meaning and peculiar cultural phenomenon that Shikokuhenro produces are not just limited in a restricted, religious aspect, but they play a role that makes Japanese Temple Architecture naturally recognized to people and connect them to modern citizens as traditional rituals. Furthermore, they represent the modern design of Henrogoya, which reflects traditional culture. Lastly, the architectural meaning that projects made by the participations of the region's inhabitants symbolize the open and public characteristics of Buddhism as a whole. The original theory and structure of Buddhism Architecture are known as to have been following the proper principals of Buddhism itself. The architectural forms and remarks were figured as being arranged variously, based on the regional features of Henro course, which is distributed evenly across the four areas of Shikoku Region, Japan, along with particularity within individual temples.
