Abstract

It is commonly known that in postwar Japan, kitchen spaces had been revolutionized caused by new factors such as the DK system, new materials and equipments. Considering such situation, this paper aims to clarify the transition of kitchen spaces in Showa postwar era, by looking through into the authorized textbooks on home economics and analyzing the tendency of keywords which are written in the original texts. Above all the research, we gained knowledge about the spread level of new kitchen factors and its educational influences. The conclusions are the followings: -Enlightenments of "hygiene" and "efficiency" were treated as the leading subjects in the textbooks of postwar documents and as well as the prewar period. Therefore it is considered that the new kitchen innovation originated in the late Meiji era. -The introduction of the DK system was the turning point of descriptions. After the introduction, new factors were to be found in the text; such as "ornament", "partition", "atmosphere" of the kitchen space, and so on. -It is remarkable that the factors which enabled a kitchen territory to functionally extend as DK were the "ventilating fan" and the "stainless steel"
