千千岩助太郎的臺灣原住民族家屋研究成果

Chijiwa Suketarou’s Research into Taiwan Indigenous People’s Houses

現今因為史料的發掘，一般以昭和11年（1936）起千千岩助太郎的研究，為原住民家屋研究的第一手資料。千千岩助太郎的研究影響甚遠，在當時就已經影響藤島亥治郎及田中大作，引用其資料寫成臺灣建築史專書。尤其是在日本本地進行民家研究的藤島，更是比千千岩助太郎早先建立了臺灣原住民族平面及架構分類系統的脈絡，千千岩助太郎則遲至戰後1962年，向九州大學提出博士學位時才建立分類系統。千千岩助太郎求學階段就讀於重視實務操作的名古屋工業學校，因此雖說戰前已完成龐大的調查資料，但分類架構至戰後才建立。戰後，藤島亥治郎根據千千岩助太郎的調查資料，先提出一套論述。千千岩在1962年提出博士學位之時，就受到這個前人論述以及當時建築學界學術論爭的影響，因此千千岩所建立的架構，是以解決日本建築史問題為其目的。雖然如此，其豐富的田野調查一手史料，對於當代在復原家屋或重新建立臺灣原住民族建築分類架構論述時，顯得特別彌足珍貴。

Among all available recognized historical data, most of the researches ofinto theTaiwanese indigenous peoples’ houses areis based on the information establishedresearch begun by Chijiiwa instarting from 1936, which has since influenced many scholars to come, including Fujisima Gaijirou and Tanaka Daisaku, who adopted Chijiiwa’s documentation into their publishing ofpublications on Taiwanese indigenous architecture. However, Fujisima, havingwho conducted numerous studies of folk houses in Japan, actually set upestablished thea frameworks of thefor classifying the plan and structural systems of Taiwanese indigenous houses’ graphic and structural systems waylong before Chijiiwa did. It wasn’t until 1962, more than a decade after the WWII, didthat Chijiiwa proposed these classification systems when presenting his PhD thesis in Kyushu University. Chijiiwa studied in Nagoya iIndustrial sSchool, which is known for focusing on practical operations. Even though he had accumulated immense information from his investigation before WWII took place, he didn’t accomplishestablish his the classification structure until, much later, after the end of WWII. At the end of WWII, Fujisima Gaijirou put forward a series of his theses based on Chijiiwa’s fieldwork findings before Chijiiwa himself did. Therefore, when Chijiiwa presented his PhD degree thesis in 1962, many of the points he brought aboutdiscussed were actually influenced by the propositions founded by Fujisima and contemporary debate in many scholars in the architecture sphere. The frameworks created by Chijiiwa were originally aimed inat providing a solution to the disputes ofin the Japanese field of architecture history. Nevertheless, Chijiiwa’s first-hand comprehensive information from his fieldwork still serves as a fundamental guideline when it comes toit comes to restoring folk houses or re-establishing the classification structure structure systems of Taiwanese indigenous architecture.
