본 논문은 동아시아 지역의 기와 제작 기술을 관찰함으로써 기술 양식에 대한 본격적인 논의의 필요성을 제시하려는 목적에서 작성되었다. 연구 방법은 기존의 주된 연구 자료인 발굴 성과와 그에 따른 연구방법론인 제작 흔적 분석뿐만 아니라 문헌과 전승 기술 등을 함께 살피려 노력했다. 공정 단위마다 지역별 유사성으로 기술의 권역을 설정하는 작업을 통해 도구, 공정, 인원 편성 등 기술적 요인을 중심으로 접근했다. 따라서 본고는 선행 연구 성과 토대 위에서 기술양식의 파악이 형태뿐만 아니라 문화 교류에 따른 기술의 인과성을 파악할 텍스트로서 작용 가능한지를 논증하는 실험이며, 이러한 논의를 추동하기 위한 시론(始論)이라 할 수 있다. 한국과 중국, 일본 세 나라의 기술 보유 지역을 네 개로 나누어 기와 제작 도구 및 공정을 분석하였다. 토형제작-기와성형-건정 세 공정을 주된 분석 대상으로 삼았으며 한국을 중심으로 주변 지역을 살펴보는 방식으로 진행하였다. 표면적인 현상으로는 양자강 이남과 오키나와가, 한반도 남방과 혼슈 지방이 유사한 기술의 맥을 공유하고 있었다. 그러나 제작 도구와 그에 따른 세부 공정을 유물, 교류관계와 함께 관찰하였을 때, 기와 제작 기술은 지역마다의 특수성만으로 구분할 수 있는 것이 아니었다. 공정별 세부 기법과 인원 편성 관찰은 공정 단위마다 다양한 권역 설정을 가능하게 했으며, 각 권역의 특색이 나타나는 원인과 그에 따른 결과를 추정할 단서를 제공했다. 이를 통해 각 지역의 기술적 특징을 상호 비교하고 그에 대한 원인 규명을 시도하였다. '편절 기법'은 지역이 보유한 기법에 따라서 권역은 구분되었지만, 규구준승(規矩準繩)에 따른 건축 기술에 기반한 기법이었다. 특히 타 지역들과는 다르게 중국을 중심으로 한 중 일만이 공유하던 특수하고도 고유한 제작 기법이었던 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 '타날 기법'은 기술이 전파되고 토착화되면서 다양한 방식으로 분화되는 양상을 드러냈다. 이러한 변화 양상은 기술의 문화적 다변성과 보수성을 관찰할 수 있는 기회가 되었다.

정부는 문화재수리공사의 품질확보 및 부실공사를 방지하기 위하여 문화재 감리제도를 2010년 1월에 도입하였다. 그러나, 문화재 감리와 관련된 감리대상공사, 감리자의 업무 범위, 감리대가, 감리원의 배치기준 등이 마련되어 있지 못해, 공공건설공사에서 운영하고 있는 감리제도를 운영하고 있다. 이로 인해 소규모 공사위주의 문화재수리 및 복원 특성을 반영한 문화재수리공사의 감리특성을 반영하고 있지 못한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 문화재수리공사의 특성에 맞는 평균 공사기간을 분석하여 감리업무와 대가기준 작성방향을 제안하였고, 문화재수리공사의 감리업무량을 조사 분석하여 감리대가기준을 마련하였다. 즉, 일정규모 이상의 문화재수리공사 경우, 감리원이 현장에 상주하여 감리업무를 수행하기 때문에 공공건설공사의 감리대가 산출방식과 같은 정액적산방식을 적용하여 감리대가 기준(안)을 제안하였다. 또한 일정규모 이하인 소규모 문화재수리공사의 경우, 감리원이 현장에 상주하지 않고, 주요 공종에만 현장에 방문하여 검사 및 확인하는 "건축법"의 수시 감리방식과 같은 비상주 감리대가 기준(안)을 제안하였다. 상기 문화재감리대가 기준(안)을 적용하여 분석한 결과, 문화재수리공사 상주감리의 감리비는 공공공사의 시공감리 대비 98% 수준이며, 비상주감리의 감리비는 건축공사감리 대비 158% 수준으로 도출되었다. 상기 연구결과인 문화재수리공사의 감리대가 기준(안)을 현장에 적용하게 되면, 문화재수리공사의 고품질 확보 등을 통하여 우리나라의 소중한 문화재를 보존할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

조선시대 문헌에서는 유리거울을 서양경(西洋鏡), 양경(洋鏡), 파리경(玻璃鏡), 파려경(玻瓈鏡), 석경(石鏡) 등 다양한 명칭으로 불렀고, 이를 경험하고 느꼈던 당시의 상황과 교역에 관한 자세한 내용을 살필 수 있다. 이를 통해 17세기 이후 청·러시아와의 교역을 중심으로 유리거울이 수입되었고, 조선 후기에 들어와 수입금지 품목에 포함되는 등 18세기에 들어와 사회적으로 큰 반향을 일으켰던 신문물로 확인되었다. 19세기에는 일상생활에 필요한 상품으로 더 크게 확대되었고, 특히 일본과의 교역이 눈에 띄게 성장하였다. 18~19세기의 유리거울은 개인이 용모를 확인하는 기본적인 용도에서 벗어나 상업적인 용도로까지 폭넓게 활용되었다. 당시 중국이나 일본을 방문했던 조선의 지식인들은 이에 관한 시각적 충격과 경험들을 글로 남겼고, 유리거울에 대한 유용함은 조선의 소비 욕구로 이어져 유리거울의 수입을 자극하였다. 이로 인해 18세기 이후 유리거울은 조선의 청동거울을 빠르게 대체하였고 유리거울을 이용한 새로운 공예품들이 제작 및 사용되기 시작하였다. 특히 실내에서 사용하는 공예품으로 일체식 유리경갑(一體式 琉璃鏡匣)을 개발해 전통적으로 사용해왔던 빗접과 함께 이용해 편리하였다. 당시 경갑의 인기는 국립중앙박물관 소장 <태평성시도(太平城市圖)>를 비롯해 조선시대 풍속화에서도 잘 볼 수 있다. 또한 중국의 기형으로 볼 수 있는 경대(鏡臺)도 조선에서 많이 제작했는데 서랍 개수와 크기, 상자 형태 등 다양한 방식으로 제작한 여러 형태의 경대를 살필 수 있다. 또한 휴대용의 작은 면경도 조선만의 미감으로 표현한 길상 문양, 장식 기법을 통해 품격 있는 공예품들로 제작되었다. 19세기에 들어와 프랑스, 네덜란드, 영국 등 유럽에서도 유리거울을 수입했지만 19세기 말 이후에는 일본식의 공예품들이 성행하였다. 일본 명치~대정시대에 유행했던 유리경대가 수입되었고 대형의 유리거울을 이용한 공예품들이 사용되었다. 이른 시기부터 있었던 경병의 경우 응접실처럼 큰 공간에 진설하거나 연회를 위해 중국·일본으로부터 수입했으며, 서양식으로 거울을 벽에 걸거나 부착해 공간의 밝기를 조절하고 외부의 풍경을 들여와 실내를 장식하는 방법이 도입되었다.
