Abstract:
For application of European technique to the traditional water mills in Japan, several mismatching points are pointed out. The cause for those is attributed to the partial imitation of the equipment without the enough consideration about the mechanical system and traditional life style. From this result, we suggest several remarks for the acceptance of transferred technique. These points are important for applying many local technique to improve the environmental problem in the 21 century.
