16세기 다실 건축의 성립과 조선 민가 - 센노 리큐의 묘키안 타이안을 중심으로 -

The Sen no Rikyu created a unique architectural style called the Souan tea house today. Myokian Taian in Kyoto is especially known as a case displaying his unique aesthetic consciousness, Wabi. Rikyu's tea house holds an extremely small space of 1.5 or 2 tatamis. It is commonly called the origin of Japanese architecture and aesthetics as a rare architectural style in the world. This study began by raising a question about this common view. Rikyu's tea house made in the 16th century is very heterogeneous in the historical genealogy of Japanese architecture. The present study thus decided to examine relations, if any, between the tea house architecture of Japan represented by Rikyu Taian in the 16th century and its contemporary private houses in Korea. The study first examined research materials by Japanese scholars that maintained that traditional Korean private houses had huge impacts on the establishment of Rikyu tea house. It then looked into common architectural characteristics between Rikyu tea house and Korean private houses and offered an explanation about the backgrounds of common features. Finally, it found in old books and presented literature grounds to support close correlations between the establishment of the tea house and Korean private houses in the 16th century.
