Abstract

This study compared wall-based materials and construction techniques in Korea, China, and Japan, all part of the same wooden culture, using data such as repair records, drawings, and photos. The composition methods, terminology, and detailed construction techniques of the wall bases in these three countries were compared and analyzed. The results showed that these countries have similar methods of applying soil after forming a wall base using wood, known by different names: "외엮기벽" in Korea, "木舞壁(コマイカベ)" in China, and "夹泥墙" in Japan. Additionally, "夹泥墙" is used in various regions in China, unlike the common perception of Chinese walls using warp stones. In terms of wall construction, Korean walls use Mullions in upper and lower inbangs and install Batten and Oe between them, woven together using rope. Chinese walls mainly use Mullion, Batten, and Oe or bamboo, fixed on the outer surface through bending. Japanese walls use thin plate Mullion and Oe as the wall background, incorporating variable materials such as braces. Although the terminology for walls in these countries shares similarities due to their Chinese character culture, there are differences in pronunciation and character usage. Additionally, Korean and Japanese walls separate the plaster layer from the inner structure layer, while Chinese walls view the wall itself as a structural component. While the constituent materials of the walls show similarities among the three countries, differences exist in the method of installing Mullion and Oe. In Korea, only Batten and Oe are woven into rope without weaving in Mullion. In Japan, all components, including Mullion, are woven into rope with variations in their connection techniques compared to Korea.
