Outline Activities
Research on ancient Roman hisotry of its town-planning and domestic architecture, closely based on the results of field surveys around town houses in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Ostia in Italy tracing the archaeological evidence for the Roman conquest and Romanization. It will provide a masterly synthesis of the results of recent research, integrating archaeological and literary evidence to produce a cogent and coherent picture of the way in which the Roman house and town-planning responded to socio-cultural influences.
Research on the history of techniques and stone-production in ancient and early-medieval quarries, closely based on the results of field works around site Akoris in Mid-Egypt.
Field survey on ancient cities on the Northern Africa
Research on the history of domestic architecuture in the historical area of Hagi city comparing the evidence coming from a design given entirely by measurement with literary evidence.

1991.04Research on ancient Roman hisotry of its town-planning and domestic architecture, closely based on the results of field surveys around town houses and city walls of Pompeii and Ostia in Italy tracing the archaeological evidence for the Roman conquest and Romanization. It will provide a masterly synthesis of the results of recent research, integrating archaeological and literary evidence to produce a cogent and coherent picture of the way in which the Roman house and town-planning responded to socio-cultural influences.. - Ancient quarries around Akoris in Egypt from the Ptolemaic to the early Byzantine periods
keyword : Egypt, Akoris, quarry, production, technology
2001.04Reconstructive analysis on the history of techniques and stone-production in ancient and early-medieval quarries, closely based on the results of field works around site Akoris in Mid-Egypt. Theories on the origins of the stone-production affected by the relationship of Greek architecture to that of other cultures can be discussed in the light of evidence from tool-marked quarry pits.. - Town planning and domestic architecture in Hagi city in Yamaguchi prefecture in the Edo period
keyword : Hagi, Samurai houses, town planning, stone wall
2003.04Research on the history of domestic architecuture for Samurai and site-planning in the historical area of Hagi city comparing the evidence coming from a design given entirely by measurement with surviving literary evidence..
- Laser scanning of an ancient Roman town, Herculaneum including new excavated area, such as Villa di Paperi, and underground structure.
- Revising the General Map of Ostia Antica, which has been drawn in 1950s by I. Gismondi and used widely by researchers nowadays, using up-to-date laser scanning technology.
- From 26th August to 9th September, the architectural investigation of city wall has been carried out at Pompeii. In these 60 years, we find a famous and detailed research on Pompeian city wall of Maiuri in 1930 giving place to a more sporadic and limited style of investigation and excavation, of which the Tower VIII by C. Trerre is the best-published example. Seeds of an architectural approach were sown under J. -P. Adam, but no project involving the whole city wall was undertaken. It is clear that one the chief reasons for this style was below. The city wall is so long and tall that researchers could not measure the whole city wall using traditional and old-fashioned equipments. All of the hitherto unpublished investigations are so fragmentary as to be impossible to grasp the measure of difference between the Roman and pre-Roman architectural details. Based on the research of Maiuri in 1930, the investigation consists of a peace by peace analysis which is intended to facilitate the discussion of whole city wall and urbanization sequences of Pompeii. In this investigation we introduce the most advanced measuring method: 3D scanning system, in which more than 10,000 scanning laser beams can be emitted in one second and the object can be described as the aggregation of dots having three dimensional coordinates. The measuring of whole city wall has been completed within two weeks. The whole city wall was separately measured into more than 200 aggregations of more than million dots. All of aggregations have to be combined in Japan into a whole three dimensional model near feature.
- In general survey and archaeological excavation around Tehneh village in Egypt, which has been carried out from 1980, including ancient city Akoris, we intend to make clear the structure of urban industry, such as quarry and leather craft from the late Pharaonic to Roman periods.

- New investigations and re-examinations of older data applying the latest technology of laser scanning for more accurate measurements, afford not only fresh insights into ancient Roman buildings and urbanisation, but also new information that may lead to provide clues as to new research.
Firstly, general maps retained in popular usage in Pompeii and Ostia were revised. The extreme resolution was sufficient to provide the comprehensive data required to create the sections and elevations, even general maps, in which large differences were confirmed to early drawings. Accurate records are essential for research and the incorrect records could eventually lead us to not only loss of new study opportunity but also incorrect results.
Secondary, large data sets of point clouds with terrestrial scans allowed us to makes functional analyses of ancient Roman buildings and cities through reverse engineering processes possible, such as the design of the streets and sewers in Pompeii, the production process of a mosaic in the House of the Dioscuri at Ostia, the layout of mosaics in the Insula of Muse at Ostia, the topographical surveys of Ostia and its planning process, the traffic system of vehicles in Pompeii, and the construction process of the Capitolium in Ostia.
