In the 12th 〜 14th century's scrolls, there are many long chests, which are used to transport foodstuffs and other articles until the Middle Ages. But they may have been destroyed since that time. The former paper (BULLETIN OF JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR SCIENCE OF DESIGN No.40) made clear its construction on the basis of old picture scrolls, documents and other materials. The paper (the BULLETIN, No.44) is a report on the works of reconstruction of the chest. But there isn't enough space for describing the details of the work. The document was a record on the annual events of regents and chief advisers to the Emperor, about it. We can know the chest was about 250 centimeters long and 75 centimeters wide and was made of Japanese cypress, maple and "keyaki" (strong wood, used for the bow). This paper is a further report of the above two papers. The result of the reconstruction of the chests may consist of vertical thin splitting boards and horizontal frames; that is to say, "complex construction". There are various kinds of long chests in the picture scrolls, divided into four basic types: 1) VERTICAL THIN BOARD TYPE. 2) ROUND CHIP BOX TYPE. 3) FRAME CONSTRUCTION TYPE. 4) HORIZONTAL THIN BOARD TYPE. The special feature of all these chests is complex construction and light weight, due to the way of use and the methods of making them; because ripsaws and planes had not yet been invented, 800 years ago.
