Abstract Since before the World War II, discussions have been made, by the archaeologists in kyushu, about the ancient round roof-tiles, discovered in northern Kyushu, the designs of which were descended from ...Pekche of Korea, especially about their age and their lineage, but no conclusions were gained. The data have been increased, however, and I have succeeded to make clear the regional distribution of them, namely, 8 in Buzen (豊前), 4 in Chikuzen (筑前), 5 in Hizen (肥前), 4 in Chikugo (筑後), and 1 in Bungo (豊後). The theories on the roof-tiles of Pekche origin can be classified as follows according to their arguments on their lineage and age.
On lineage : (1) They were directly influenced by Pekche.
(2) Their designs were descended from Pekche to Kinki (近畿) region, from where they were introduced to Kyushu.
(3) They were influenced not by Pekche, but by Silla tiles.
On age : (1) The example of their use was in the building of the Ono (大野) Castle in Chikuzen in 665 AD.
(2) They were used after 665 AD.
(3) They were used in about 7th and 8th centuries.
(4) They were used in the late 8th century.
Through the analytical studies such as the comparison of the tiles themselves in detail, confirmation of the periods of the remaining sites by examining the old records and so on, I can argue as follows: Whereas the old style tiles remain in Buzen in large numbers many Tiles are found in modified styles in Chikuzen, Hizen, Chikugo and Bungo provinces. Their age extends from 665 AD. to 774 AD. We can trace the historical process of tile-styles from the embryo stage to the growing and declining stages. Therefore each past theory on the age was concerned only to one period in which the tiles were used. In respect to their lineage, I think that they were imported by the Pekche people who exciled to Japan as the result of the fall of the Pekche Kingdom. Judging from the remaining roof-tiles of the mountain castles and Buddhist temples in the late Pekche era, we must think that the roof-tiles of late Pekche era themselves had changed gradually to the style similar to those which are discovered in Kyushu and they were used for the first time in the building of mountain castles in northern Kyushu which were constructed under the guidance of the Pekche people. Afterward, through the adoption of the elements of the tile type of Silla, the Pekche type of the tiles in Kyushu were changed to the type peculiar to Kyushu. But after the middle of the 8th century the Pekche type tiles declined with the completion of the Ritsuryo (律令) system centering around Dazaifu (大宰府), and by the end of that century they were completely extinguished.
