A Comparative Analysis of the Artifact Characteristic of Edo Period Portable Chests and Ming-Qing Dynasty Official

日本在历史上因文明水平的差异与我国进行了频繁的文化交流,并参照我国在家具形制上形成了独特的造物遗风。通过设计学视角对日本江户时期的小型提携箱手许箪笥与中国明清时期的闺房家具官皮箱进行比较研究,得以揭开两者形制差异与成因,探寻器物背后蕴含的不同造物思想。比较表明,手许箪笥在造型装饰性上不及官皮箱,金属件装饰比官皮箱更多样、手许箪笥的结构与接合方式比较简单,工艺不如官皮箱精密。手许箪笥在装饰题材上较官皮箱丰富,但装饰技法种类少。

Throughout history,Japan has engaged in frequent cultural exchanges with China due to differences in their levels of civilization.In the process,Japan has referenced China's furniture design traditions to develop its own unique design legacy.From the perspective of design studies,this study conducts a comparative study of the small portable chests(Tansu)of the Edo period in Japan and the boudoir furniture of the official leather trunks(Guan Pi Xiang)from the Ming and Qing dynasties in China.This analysis aims to uncover the differences in the forms of these artifacts and their underlying causes,as well as explore the diverse design philosophies embodied within them.The comparative analysis reveals that the Tansu chests are less decorative in their styling compared to the Guan Pi Xiang trunks.The Tansu features a greater variety of metal fittings,but its structure and joinery techniques are relatively simple,lacking the precision of the Guan Pi Xiang.While the Tansu exhibits a richer diversity of decorative motifs,the range of decorative techniques employed is more limited than that of the Guan Pi Xiang trunks.
