総面積900坪の大豪邸だけれど2200年前の住宅建築。
しかしハンパないレベルの格差社会・最上流層の邸宅ではある。
そういう社会の人々の「生き様・価値感」というのは
残された建築によってはるかに想像される。
現代とはまったく異質な価値尺度がそこから浮かび上がってくる。
現代日本人からすると、床面に過剰な装飾性を持たせるという心理は
なかなか共有しにくいものがある。
日本人は高温多湿な気候環境のなかで床面は地面から「上げて」
床下空間に「通気」させて湿気を除去する志向性が強い。
だから履物を脱いで「家に上がる」習慣が根付き、
その床面は足の裏という素肌で感受する対象であって
その最上級床面として畳という独自の住文化を育んできた。
現代ではそこから板敷きとの混淆という床面文化が主流になっている。
板敷きは階級格差なく日本人の床面のベースになっている。
いずれにせよ、土間からの結界性が住まいの床面への感覚。
この点でほかの東洋文化圏とも違いがあるし、
家の中でも靴を脱ぐ習慣のない西洋的文化圏とは隔絶している。
ポンペイ遺跡でのこの高級住宅では内部空間とおぼしき室内でも
床面は石の平面が基本になっているように思われる。
当然靴は履いたままで日常生活を送っていたのだろう。
そういう違いを感じる上に、さらにその床面をキャンパスと見立て
芸術的なモザイク画面としてフェッチしていた様子がわかるのだ。
上の写真は「アレクサンドロス大王のモザイク」。
この家の最上位空間と見なせる区画に典雅な床モザイク画としてあった。
・・・絵画と見まごう細かなモザイク表現は「オプス・ウェルミクラトゥム」という
緻密で繊細な技法で作られている。モルタルに下書きしそれに従って
一片数ミリの微細な自然素材の切石(テッセラ)をひとつひとつ埋め込んでいる。
この作品では1センチ四方で15-30のテッセラ使用で画面全体では数百万個。
自然素材の石材の色調を選別して絵画の「絵の具」として活用している。
ここまで微細な表現物なので専用の工房で製作されて現場に嵌め込まれた。
現代人としてはこういう美術作品に対してそれを床面に残置することに耐えられず
ナポリ国立考古学博物館に収蔵されたという。
当然、今回の東京国立博物館「ポンペイ展」でも
「壁面」に展示されていた。・・・
この「絵画」の画材テーマについてもさまざまに研究が進んでいるけれど、
2200年前の古代の英雄叙事詩がテーマとされている。
で、そういうものを「床面の装飾物」としていたのだ。

まぁ、その他の動物などのテーマ装飾であればまだしも
「あ、踏んじゃった、ごめんね」とでも笑えるような雰囲気だけれど
こうしたモザイク画面構成には芸術と職人仕事の歴史的重視が感じられる。
イタリアのタイル文化というものの歴史的奥行きを深く実感させられる。
こういう生活文化性はカーペット文化とも相通じるものだろうか。
また、このような作品を発注し多数の先端的職人技を動員させるだけの
社会階級格差の巨大さも深く刻印されている。
どうも吉野ヶ里の城内での竪穴住居に住んでいたとされる日本古代支配層とは
社会構造基盤として、かなり巨大な異質さを感じさせられる。
日本社会の方がはるかに「平等」だと感じるのはわたしだけだろうか。

Floor mosaic decoration "Art" House of Pompei Faunus-3
The sense to the floor surface which is different from the culture of wooden board and tatami matting. The cultural consciousness of life that composes the floor surface with the highest quality art works. The astonishing huge disparity society. ...
It is a large mansion with a total area of 900 tsubo, but it was built 2,200 years ago.
However, it is a mansion of the highest class in a society with a huge level of inequality.
The "way of life and sense of value" of people in such a society
The remaining architecture gives us a much clearer picture of the way of life and sense of value of the people of such a society.
A scale of value completely different from that of today emerges from these residences.
From a modern Japanese point of view, it is difficult to share the psychology of having excessive decorativeness on the floor surface.
It is difficult for modern Japanese to share this sentiment.
In the hot and humid climate of Japan, floor surfaces are "raised" from the ground and
They have a strong tendency to "raise" the floor surface from the ground and allow it to "ventilate" into the space under the floor to remove humidity.
This is why the custom of taking off one's footwear and "coming up" to the house has taken root.
The floor surface is an object that is perceived by the soles of the feet, the bare skin.
Tatami mats, as the highest quality floor surface, have nurtured a unique living culture.
Today, tatami is mixed with wooden flooring and has become the mainstream flooring culture.
Tatami is the base of Japanese flooring, regardless of class.
In any case, the sense of boundedness from the earthen floor to the floor of the house is the sense of the floor surface of the house.
In this respect, there is a difference from other Eastern cultures.
This is what differentiates it from other Eastern cultures and separates it from Western cultures, where it is not customary to take off one's shoes even inside the house.
In this luxury house at the Pompeii site, even in what appears to be an interior space, the floor is basically a flat stone surface.
The floor surface seems to be based on a flat stone surface.
Naturally, people must have lived their daily lives with their shoes on.
In addition to such a difference, the floor surface is also considered as a campus.
The above photo is a mosaic of "Alexandros the Great" and "Alexandros the Great".
The photo above is the "Alexander the Great Mosaic.
It was an elegant floor mosaic in what could be considered the highest space of the house.
The detailed mosaic expression, which could be mistaken for a painting, was made by a technique called "opus wellmikratum.
The mosaic was made by a precise and delicate technique called opus wellmikratum. A rough sketch is made on the mortar, and then the mosaic is painted according to the sketch.
The mosaic is made by drawing a rough sketch in mortar and then embedding fine cut stones (tesserae) of natural materials, each a few millimeters in size, one by one.
In this work, 15 to 30 tesserae are used per square centimeter, and the total number of tesserae in the entire picture is several million.
The color tones of the natural stone material are selected and used as "paint" for the painting.
Because of the fineness of the expression, they were manufactured in a special workshop and fitted into the site.
The modern man cannot bear to leave such a work of art on the floor, so it was placed in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
It is said that it was housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
Naturally, it was displayed on the "wall" at the Tokyo National Museum's "Pompeii Exhibition" this time.
It was displayed on the wall of the Tokyo National Museum's Pompeii Exhibition. The theme of this "painting" is also the theme of the material used for the painting.
Although various studies have been conducted on the theme of the material of this "painting", it is not clear whether it is an ancient heroic epic from 2,200 years ago.
The theme of these "paintings" has been studied in various ways, but the theme is said to be an ancient heroic epic of 2,200 years ago.
And they were used as "floor decorations".
Well, if it's a themed decoration of other animals, etc., it's still a good idea.
It is a funny atmosphere, though, as if to say, "Oh, I stepped on it, sorry.
But the mosaic compositions in this way show the historical importance of art and craftsmanship.
It makes us realize the historical depth of the Italian tile culture.
I wonder if this kind of lifestyle culture is also compatible with carpet culture.
The huge disparity in social class that would allow for the mobilization of a large number of cutting-edge craftsmen to order such works is also deeply engraved in this exhibition.
The huge social class disparity that would make it possible to order such works and mobilize a large number of advanced craftsmen is also deeply engraved in this work.
The ancient ruling class of Japan, who are believed to have lived in pit dwellings in the castle in Yoshinogari, is a rather huge social structure.
The social structure of the Japanese society is much more "equal" than that of the Japanese people.
Am I the only one who feels that Japanese society is much more "equal"?
